Project title: Cat-a-lot javascript gadget development
Description of project: Cat-a-lot is a JavaScript gadget primarily used on Wikimedia Commons for categorizing photos. Wikimedia Commons is Wikimedia Foundation's repository with 114 million photos and other media files. Approximately 5% of daily Wikimedia Commons editors utilize this tool. It was a topic in Outreachy round 30 where we fixed a lot of bugs; however, we also explored new features such as PetScan integration, thumbnail view for Search list, and "shopping cart" UI which weren't finalized, so we are now focusing on new features.
Expected outcomes: documenting the local developing process, PetScan integration
Required skills and/or preferred skills: javascript, html, Vue.js, mediawiki API
Mentor(s):

• @Zache (software developer, fixed Cat-a-lot bugs in autumn 2024 and mentoring Cat-a-lot in the round 30)
• @adiba_anjum (Cat-a-lot Outreachy intern in round 30, knowledge with LLM:s and mediawiki API)
