I would like to work on this task!

Part 1 of the newcomer bot is coming up in shape. Part 1 was about adding a reviewer ("first-time-contributor") to a changeset submitted by a first-time contributor and uploading a welcome message as well.

@Aklapper Looks good! If this will be used by other folks (such as event organizers, scholarship committee members, etc.), a few minor instructions steps could be added:

• In the context of CSV, how to format it, sort the data by the number of patchsets, remove the rows in which the no of patchsets is less than 5, etc.
• Perhaps, a quick way (e.g. via shell script command) to construct query string with "author_name."

I don't know if that would solve some problem (depends on the workflow - you would only be able to find the very first patch by someone if you query by that string), but it would be very welcome to fix T73357 anyway...

Closing this task as we no longer need it.. also because communicating with co-admin and other mentors via email.

One of the lessons learned here: it is tough to retain newcomers from developer events. On the other hand, it may not be reasonable to keep our target for retaining newcomers from developer events as 10% (which is tough to achieve). Keeping this in mind, we are revising our expectations for goals like these, making changes to the mentoring program, and some of these details/ changes might be reflected in the "International developer events" annual program which is now on meta.

Some of the ideas/ discussion points highlighted in this short-term plan were highlighted/ used in the framing of the "Onboarding new developers" annual program for fiscal year 2018/19. Resolving this task for now!

@ssaluja16 Good to learn that you've got a chance to view the tutorials. Some of the next steps in the task description are:

• Download and setup MediaWiki using Vagrant
• Install and try the above mentioned extensions: WikiLove, MultimediaViewer and MassMessage
• Take a look at easy tasks related to OOUI
• Talk to us here, or on IRC: #wikimedia-dev or #wikimedia-editing

@Aklapper Keeping in mind that let's not create another tool and investigate solutions that not become a one person thingy, here is a thought (not new though, it has been mentioned elsewhere too T73357: Add a welcome bot to Gerrit for first time contributors):

@Eileenmcnaughton I think you could make the best decision here in which organization this project would best fit in. Also, it is a good idea, for now, to submit the proposal to both organizations. For the formalities then, you could add the project to the featured list here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018, and point Saurabh to follow Wikimedia's participant's guidelines https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants (most important is Step 9 in the application process steps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Application_process_steps). If Saurabh has further questions, feel free to connect me with him. Thanks!

@Aklapper Yes, this is not from the project featured in the list. My sense is that @Eileenmcnaughton and Saurabh have been jointly discussing this idea and might submit the proposal to the CiviCRM organization with WMF as a supporting org.

Index got updated by Jesus in https://gitlab.com/Bitergia/c/Wikimedia/support/issues/17#note_60596726 when working on T185316 hence I could proceed.

You mean Jesus the God or they are one of our collaborators at Bitergia? :P

@ssaluja16 Thanks for your interest! Please see the "Get started" section in the task description for microtasks.

@Ragesoss sounds good! I misunderstood this..

Survey sent to 51 volunteer developers, the results of which will be included in T186517.

@Fz-29 Glad to have you onboard! :) Please add your name to the list of mentors in the task description and on the MediaWiki GSoC page. Thank you for willing to mentor!
