Name: Sachin IRC nickname on Freenode: Sachin Thakan Location (country or state): Haryana, India Time Zone: (UTC+5.30) Typical working hours: 8 AM - 9 PM ===Synopsis **Project Idea** - [[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274635|idea]] - User scripts are javascript programs written by users which can add additional features to the page user using or editing on Wikimedia. - Aim here is to create a Guided Tour very similar to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure|The_Wikipedia_Adventure]] - Wikimedia provides Mediawiki's JS modules, Mediawiki's API's, OOUI that allows high customization of the wiki pages. - Mission 1: Basic Intro to deploying user scripts - Mission 2: Writing user scripts using MediaWiki's JS module - Mission 3: Writing user scripts using MediaWiki API - Mission 4: Writing user scripts using OOUI (Optional) - Possible Mentor(s) # @Jayprakash12345 # @KCVelaga # @APerson - Have you contacted your mentors already? **Yes** ===Deliverables Following are the main parts of each mission: 1. Basic Intro to the user script - This will involve demonstration of the manipulations of the page we can do using scripts. - Showing the right path to make changes (like changes in common.js) - Examples of some interesting user scripts like finding read time for a page, changing background color with a single click etc. 2. Using JS modules available in MediaWiki in our scripts - Demonstration of the main JS modules like mw.config, mw.hook, and mw.html and changes associated with them 3. Using MediaWiki API 4. Using OOUI modules along with available gadgets ===TimeLine **Community Bonding Period** | Date | Tasks | | May 17, 2021 - May 24, 2021 | I will utilize this period to improve my command on JavaScript and JQuery. Also, I will understand more about the JS Modules on MediaWiki, API's and OOUI Module and their application related to my project | |May 25, 2021 - June 7, 2021 | Here I will learn about testing of the patches and tools used to do the same, also I will interact a lot with my mentors and my other students in the community and will try to learn a lot from them | ** Coding Period ** | June 7, June 16 | Work on Basic Intro design, which will include making a basic prototype introducing the user to User-Script. The task will be to code the template for that basic design, messages and CSS for the same| | June 17, June 25 | This week we will debug some code from last week and will work on JS module intro to the user and use cases for the same | | June 26, July 2| This week we will collect work from the last two weeks, document it properly, test thoroughly, debug that work and will start implementing 3rd mission| | July 3, July 12| This week will go into the design and coding the third mission and its documentation and testing | | July 13, July 16 | **First Evaluation: will take a lot of feedback from my mentor and will try to improve on any aspect if found lagging** | | July 17, July 27 | This week, demonstration for OOUI modules along with useful Widgets will be coded| | July 27, August 7| This week will again be a summary week with documentation of earlier work and debugging for the same| | August 8, August 15| Will try to assemble all the four mission well, and do a lot of testing | | August 16, August 23| Final Documentation and testing| |August 24, August 31| **Final Evaluation**| |August 31 | **Results**| ===Participation - I will be available anytime through Zulip during working hours - I will be available through the mail during off-work hours - I will keep track of my progress through my personal Journal ===Time Commitment - ** During Phase 1 ** -I will be able to devote as high as 50 hours per week. - ** August 1 onwards ** - due to university classes will be able to devote 30-35 hours per week (That's why I am covering only the 4th mission in second phase) ===About Me - I am A 3rd year UG student at IIT Kanpur - I have been studying Aerospace Engineering along with a deep interest in Competitive programming and Web-app development - I came to know about the open-source in my second year from my friends and seniors, subsequently about the GSoC and other open-source programs **What does making this project happen mean to you?** - This is my first major involvement in open-source and it means a lot to me since it will set me for a further long journey in open-source development. Apart from that, I am always excited about doing something that may impact a lot of people around me, and I consider WikiMedia as the best platform for such deed. ==Past Experience - Proficient in C/C++, Python, Matlab and familiar with HTML, CSS, JS, Node.js, Express.js **Project 1.
