Hi! I have addressed the issue by replacing inline styles with Tailwind classes. Please let me know if any changes are needed.

Hi, thanks for the clarification. I’ve reviewed your previous comment and the instructions. I’ll start working on the left/right keyboard navigation for the pagelist widget accordingly. Please let me know if there are any specific requirements I should keep in mind.

Hi, I’d like to work on implementing the left/right keyboard navigation for the pagelist widget. I’ve noticed this part is not yet completed. Please let me know if I can proceed with this task.

Hi, I noticed this task has been inactive for a while. I would like to work on adding keyboard shortcuts (left/right navigation, escape to close, etc.). Is this still available to pick up?

Hi @Aklapper , I explored the linked microtasks (T411157 and T413556) to understand the OCR workflow and the Wikisource extension.
It looks like patches are already under review for those tasks, so I’ve been going through the related code (especially BulkOcrWidget.js) to better understand how bulk OCR notifications and the UI logic work.
I’ll continue exploring the OCR tool and related areas to see where I can contribute next. If there are any beginner-friendly issues around the OCR workflow or Wikisource extension, I’d be happy to take a look.
While exploring the OCR related tasks, I came across T359703 about adding a Bulk OCR feature directly on Index pages.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ll continue exploring the OCR tool and related microtasks to understand the codebase better.
Thanks! I’ll go through the linked microtasks in the task description and start exploring them. I’ll update here once I understand which one I can start working on.
While exploring the Bulk OCR feature, I noticed that multiple OCR engines (like Tesseract, Kraken, and Transkribus) can be selected.
I was wondering how the engine selection is currently handled in the system — is it configured per request from the UI, or is there some default engine configuration at the backend service level?
Hi,
I have been setting up the MediaWiki development environment for about a week and finally managed to get it running locally after quite a bit of efforts. During this process I started exploring the ProofreadPage extension and the tasks related to the Bulk OCR improvements project.

Hi @Aklapper, yes, I am currently going through the task description and the related documentation to understand the requirements fully before I begin working on a solution. I'll reach out if I have specific questions about the implementation.
Hello, my name is Rishav. I’m interested in working on the Bulk OCR Improvements project for Google Summer of Code. I have experience with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and I’m currently exploring MediaWiki development. I would like to start contributing and understand the project better. Any guidance on beginner tasks would be really helpful. Thank you!
