===Synopsis
- Short summary describing your project and how it will benefit Wikimedia projects
- Possible Mentor(s)
- Have you contacted your mentors already?
===Deliverables
Describe the timeline of your work with deadlines and milestones, broken down week by week. Make sure to include time you are planning to allocate for investigation, coding, deploying, testing and documentation
===Participation
How I plan to communicate progress and ask for help, where I plan to publish my source code, etc:
- I will use my currently forked repository of Wikicontrib to make commits and send PRs to the synced original repository. This way, it will be smooth to work together as well as minimize conflicts in merging PRs.
- For effective communication with mentors, I will communicate on IRC and Zulip in my working hours and in non-working hours I’d be available on Gmail.
- Issues or bugs related communication will be through comments on the Github issue or PR.
- Lastly, I’ll keep adding weekly targets achieved on my meta wiki [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Shivanigangadharan | page ]].
===About Me
- I am a 3rd year student pursuing Bachelors of Technology in Computer Science.
- In August 2019, I was asked to deliver a talk on open-source opportunities for women at the Sheroes office. So while preparing and researching for that talk, I got to know about Outreachy and ever since then I’ve been wanting to be a part of it. I applied because Outreachy highly encourages absolute beginners of open source to apply and learn from amazing people. And, an applicant is unbiasedly evaluated on the basis of their effort and willingness shown via contributions and communication.
- During the Outreachy internship program, I would have no other time commitments.
- My aim and focus is entirely on the Outreachy program with WikiMedia Foundation. I strongly believe that this will help me to become very comfortable with open source and from the experience learnt, next time I can mentor other aspirants with their open-source journey.
- From the very moment I made my first little contribution to this project, it has and will continue to hold a huge significance for me. I want to make this project stand out, make a solid impact and I consider it my responsibility to make that happen. I have been constantly motivated by WMF and their vision. This project, WikiContrib, is an essential and handy tool that will save us a lot of time when observing a person's overall contributions on Wiki and GithHub. Plus, it is absolutely perfect for a dedicated beginner like me and has a lot of scope for expansion.
