A couple statistics on proposals that we received for GSoC:
@Ashuro07 Hi! Thanks for your participation. It looks like you have answered no to the question: "Have you contacted with project mentors already?" and I wanted to share that communicating with project mentors is one of the many steps and a crucial part of the application process. Also, that it is currently missing the point around patches/pull requests that you contributed to for Wikimedia projects during the application phase, etc. See the pre-populated template for the proposal in step 10 here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps. There is no time left to do that right now; I still thought of highlighting it.
@Raymond_Ndibe That's a great question! Here is the priority of the features in descending order:
Let me know if you've any further questions!

@kostajh @Catrope Though the deadline is in the next ~24 hrs, if you have any feedback to share here, please do! We tried to find mentors for a project proposal that @Ostrzyciel pitched. It was a promising proposal, I think, but we couldn't find folks to mentor.
@Mufaddalhamid123 Hi! Thanks for your participation.

See here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps. There is perhaps no time to do that right now; I still thought of highlighting it.
@arjumand_mirza Hi! Thanks for your participation. Your proposal is currently missing a few key points, such as if you have already contacted the mentors, if you've contributed to any Wikimedia projects during the application phase, etc. See the pre-populated template for the proposal in step 10 here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps.

@Jayprakash12345 sorry! I'm just seeing this task. I have no issues with further changes being made to the QRcode-Generator app.
@CodeLeaf Hi! Thanks for your interest. As a first step, if you haven't already seen this guide, I encourage you to take a look https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps and get familiar with the application process steps. Maybe you can catch up in the next two days (deadline is on March 31st) with all the application process steps, but I want to share that as the process is lengthy, it is best if you can start early at least 3-4 weeks before the deadline :)
@swapnil-sinha Hi! Thanks for your proposal. I have a comment - your proposal is currently missing a list of small tasks in Wikimedia projects that you contributed to during the application phase. See step 8 here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps. If you did, please add them in your proposal. Thank you!
We are unlisting this project from Outreachy (Round 20). If you a potential intern, please explore other projects here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_20#Ideas_for_projects.
One can chat with the bot developed by @Balaji030698 here: https://www.messenger.com/t/wikimessengerbot and look into the source code here https://github.com/Balaji-Ramasubramanian/Wikipedia_Facebook_Chatbot.
@Aklapper Yes, that's a good point; I've added the link from the Outreachy/Participants page.
(removing the good first task as the status of this task isn't clear)
@Aniketkagarwal2312 Hello! Outreachy doesn't allow applicants to propose their own internship project. But, you can submit this proposal to GSoC! Remember to follow the application process steps here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps.

Yes #wikimedia-tech might be the best venue for this or you may reach out on Zulip here https://wikimedia.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/220258-gsoc20-outreachy20/topic/Technical.20Support
(closing this as India workshop got canceled in light of COVID-19)
(as there is nothing more left to do here, closing this)
Closing this task as we have the changes live here https://tools.wmflabs.org/tools-gallery/. If/when we need to move the repo in the near future, we can follow one of the options mentioned by @bd808 in T245867.
Probably, there should be a separate task, if/when there is a need to link this gallery from an appropriate venue.
Thank you so much @N3rsti for your patience and for your work on this :)

@Samwilson @SGill Need your feedback on @Soda's proposal :)
The only reason I removed the tag was that it wouldn't show up in the list of latest tasks linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Good_first_bugs (the way that Phabricator query works). It is fine though! I can maybe file subtasks for the remaining extensions sometime later.
@Chtnnh Hi! Thanks for your proposal. I hope that you are already in touch with potential mentors of this project. It would be nice if you could get early feedback from them on the technical details of your proposal, the feasibility of the approach you have mentioned, and whether or not it fits the scope of a 3-month long project (especially as you are proposing it). If for some reason you are not able to reach out to them, please let me know! Ideally, two projects mentor a GSoC project; both needn't be involved in the same capacity and have a technical background.

@Vaibhav_apt Please see the "Getting started" and "Potential microtasks" section in this tasks' description.
@Mh-3110 @Ayushshri121 Welcome, happy to see your interest in GSoC with Wikimedia :) I want to encourage you to go through the application process steps to ensure there isn't anything that you are missing: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps
We made improvements to ~100 pages in the API namespace as part of this project; more details are in this blog post:
https://medium.com/@Srish_Aka_Tux/fixing-the-docs-is-a-group-effort-786367733d83. One of the things we focused on especially was consistency and ensuring that all pages adhere to the documentation template here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Documentation_template.
(thanks a lot @jeropbrenda @Zaycodes)
(re-evaluating my comment..I think we can close this task and the requested change is not necessary)
Thanks @Ammarpad! I've added a list of extensions that needs work to the Phabricator task for easy tracking. Except for the GlobalBlocking extension (for which @DannyS712 submitted a patch recently) by, others can still be worked on.
In addition to @Soda's question, I've two more questions that probably others can help answer:
Hi folks! This task, in its clear state, lacks pointers for newcomers to get started. Please see here the criteria of a good first task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/169/. I am removing the tag, for now, you can put it back once you have added relevant information to the task description.
All projects are documented here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Past_projects#Round_19.
