Hello @Mraish ,
Thank you so much for always keeping us updated, it means a lot and we are grateful!

Please, I would love to know your thoughts regarding our final submission, as we only have 7 days left to submit our final application to the project, and they are all long easy questions. Thank you once again!

Hi All, due to the volume of contributions, it might be difficult (almost near impossible) to share 1:1 responses on submissions. However, i think you'd get an update from Outreachy after the submission deadline. I suggest you go ahead and work on your final application (please include all relevant information). All the best!

Thank you for the update @MRaishWMF

Hi everyone, how can one know if the Microtask has been reviewed by the mentor?

@Maryann-Onyinye can we continue editing our tasks after we sent the google doc link, or the shared task are already reviewed?

this question is valid

From the project description, all submissions are due by the end of this week (October 14th), feel free to edit your responses up until the deadline. Also check your document history to see if any review has been done. That should help!

You can use Google Docs for your task, then copy the link and paste it in the comment box here so that it can be easily accessed/assessed.

Thank you @Teju

@Teju, how do I submit my microtask

Hi everyone
Just a side note, please endeavor to make your Google Docs links accessible (Try to remove the restrictions, so that the links can be viewable by the mentors).

You are welcome @Dianaanthonyu and @Techietwinmum

Hi everyone; I just had a question about the contribution process. Per the email I received, we are required to "...pick a project and contact the mentor." At what point do we "contact the mentor?" Before or after we link our Google docs here, or does this requirement not apply at this stage/to this project? Thank you!

Hi mentors, this is the Google Doc link to my Microtask : Microtask Submission

Hi, the microtasks are mentioned above. You have to pick a survey that you want to work on and answer the questions mentioned on the microtask about your survey

Microtasks
Links to easy and self-contained tasks on Phabricator that students could work on to get familiar with the project. GSoC / Outreachy candidates are required to complete microtasks during the application period to prove their ability to work on a three month long project.

These microtasks will require the applicant to pay attention to examples of surveys they encounter in the course of their normal online activities, and to pick one or more of them to think about in detail.

Survey thinking: find an example of a survey you’ve recently come across (any topic):
What kinds of information is this survey trying to access? Try to identify as many specific kinds of information as possible.
Survey thinking: Choose one or two questions that you think work really well
Why do they work well?
What kind of information are these questions trying to access?
Can you think of different ways to ask these questions? How does changing the wording change the way the questions work?
Survey thinking: Choose one or two questions that you think don’t work well
What kind of information is the question trying to access?
Why isn’t it as effective as it could be?
Try to come up with a few alternative ways this question could be phrased. How does changing the wording change the way the questions work?
Please share the results of these microtasks here in this ticket in the form of a Google doc.

Hi @FasikaAdugna, thank you. For further clarification, that means I can pick any survey I find on the net, and then answer questions? Also, how can I become an assignee of a task? Sorry, I am just trying to get along

Yes, you can pick any survey and answer the questions. You don't need to be assigned the tasks are open to everyone. You work on your survey on Google Docs and share the link here.
