People who tweet an emoji to @NYPLEmoji get a similar image from the collections in response. The code for the project lives here: https://github.com/lolibrarian/NYPL-Emoji-Bot
I propose creating a similar bot for Commons images. It will introduce a lot of people to the Commons collection and because it uses emoji, not words, it should translate for mobile/desktop users worldwide.
Possible mentor: @Dereckson
Co-mentors: @MelodyKramer (but currently in parental leave)
Skills required: analysis, basic software architecture, development
Microtasks:
— If Wikidata is considered a good way to map emojis with images, write a small script to import all emojis on Wikidata.
-- Explore the various possibilities of implementation of this application such that we will have a balance of time and space complexity. The aim is to use minimum space and very little time to process the requests on Twitter. We hope to have a O(1) time complexity of the app.
— <to be determined, any small task to explore this project is welcome>
