For one workboard, I can just create it for you.

Around 10 Outreachy applicants have joined the Slack channel so far, so hopefully they’ll all start contributing to the project soon.

@Muguro The description is now updated, you may now go ahead and contribute. All the best! :)

Hello @dikshya_shahi all tasks should remain open for all contributors to work on.. Assigning tasks to specific individuals may discourage others from participating..

Thanks, @Abishekdascs, for the update. It's great to know that the participants are already getting busy. How many are contributing to the project?

That's good to hear @AndrewTavis_WMDE good luck to the participants.. :) Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be checking in from time to time.. Thanks!

We just added a rule that a contributor can pick a new task after submitting a pull request, and if a user wants to switch to another task, they should just unassign the task and say in the GitHub issue that the task is free to work on.

Probably the biggest thing is that I should create some larger tickets for more experienced participants, as now people are starting to understand the codebase and the idea of the tool.

@SWangari-WMF: For future reference, see the "Project Proposals" column on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/8143/, compare with the subtasks here, go to the missing task, go to "Edit Related Tasks > Edit Parent Tasks", add it.

Thank you! @Aklapper

@SWangari-WMF , we dropped Cat-a-lot and proceeded with PendingChangesBot. If I understood that PendingChangesBot rewrite from PHP to Python was fine and good task for internship. However, they were concerned about LLM part and asked more information about that. I gave some information about what we were thinking and asked could they be describe about what was exactly the concerning part, but there were no answer to these yet. However, if it is something what we cannot overcome by planning I guess that we can leave LLM stuff out.

Hello @Zache is there a project you dropped recently? For the project you'll move ahead with, please make certain that you link it as a subtask here, as this is where the contributors will be directed as of Monday, 6th October. Thanks!

In T403210#11218950, @Zache wrote:

@SWangari-WMF FYI, I chatted with co-mentors and they preferred PendingChangesBot as it uses LLM:s and machine learning was matching their studies. They also thinked thet it is more interesting from intern candidates point of view for same reasons so I submitted also. However, I am still waiting the reply in Zullip if PendingChangesBot is OK from Outreachy people. IF it is OK then I will drop the Cat-a-lot from this round and focus on PendingChangesBot. I will update the microtasks etc to the ticket when I have confirmation as it takes some time to prepare them.

Yes, i changed it to Cat-a-lot. It is solid project for Outreachy and as T365303 is now solved in the backend we can now do things what was not possible in round 30. I think that in Outreachy pages there should be everything except co-mentors. I will ask them to register also.

@Zache I'm assuming you've settled on this? If so, do you mind adding project skills to help guide participants in choosing the projects they're most comfortable contributing to. Also, attach the project as a subtask here, thanks!

@SWangari-WMF I ended to this T405594 based on feedback, but i was starting to think that is the project eligible for Outreachy as even the old version has been around 2016 it hasn't really been contributions from other people than me and now i would be starting new repository for the Python version. I am currently trying to find information from documents if there are requirement for the projects but i havent found any yet.

@AndrewTavis Thank you too! :)

@Zache have you decided on what project you want to submit?

Hello.. who's the owner of this project? Wikidata fwd to Wikitech-l? I need a proper project description before I can approve it. I can't get a response via email..

Hello @Zache .. do you have a project to submit for this Outreachy round? We are currently receiving projects..

I was planning to submit PendingChangesBot as it is in WMFI:s this years targets. Second option is Cat-a-lot which has pretty much ready documentation based made and there continuation paths for new features from Round 30. However, i am currently weighting towards PendingChangesBot as there I would have second mentor with experience with Django, Python and Pywikibot.

@Aklapper my apologies, was only carrying out an instruction I was given. I'll do the necessary changes, thanks..

Hello @Zache .. do you have a project to submit for this Outreachy round? We are currently receiving projects..

You're good to go.. once you're ready, you can go ahead and submit to Outreachy.. :) I've already approved another project there..

Is this project ready for submission to the Outreachy website?

Thank you for the updates! @Aklapper

Hello @Zache @Ragesoss, sorry for the late reply. @LGoto is on Sabbatical, and I'll be standing in for them for this round. I was informed just yesterday. So Outreachy Round 31 is on and I'm quickly drafting an email to send out to various channels for the call for mentors to submit their projects. The deadline is in just a week, 26th September, 4:00 UTC. Let me know if you have any questions..

@Aklapper Noted...my apologies, first time filing a request.. I just winged it :D

Hi everyone,
Chioma Veronica Here, just to clarify, the task is an initial introductory task for everyone interested in contributing to this project.

Hello...Congratulations for having made it to the contribution stage. A quick update,..there will be no claiming of this task as anyone interested gets a chance to contribute and eventually record their contributions. The mentors will thereafter review your contributions and decide who will be selected as the intern. Goodluck to you all..
