[15:14:54] HI [15:15:20] what are criteria used by google to select student project for GSoC? [15:16:23] bam_, you need to ask Google for that. [15:16:35] but how do you mean? [15:17:06] I don't exactly expect anything [15:17:25] then what is your question? [15:17:40] Let me clarify it [15:18:03] Wikimedia may have something as 15 proposal [15:18:41] see https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/slot-allocation [15:18:43] After Google review, 10 or 12 proposals are accepted [15:18:47] if I get your question right. [15:19:15] but that is a topic for #gsoc I'd say, as it's not related to Wikimedia :) [15:21:24] Yes of course. I'd like to know if someone here have such info. [15:21:38] But the one you prive seems to be good [15:25:15] bam_, nobody here works for Google. [15:25:22] Again: See https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/slot-allocation [15:25:51] (well, maybe someone in here works for Google, don't know. But I think what you can know is in the link I offered.) [15:26:09] For general GSoC questions unrelated to Wikimedia please feel free to use #gsoc [16:17:25] Hi [16:17:42] I am interested in participating into GSoC 2018 [16:21:59] s231, hi and welcome. [16:22:09] See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018 for more info [16:22:42] Thank You. I visited the page and those are some nice ideas [16:23:06] I'd just like to know where to start to get a better understanding of the code base [16:23:18] It is a bit overwhelming at this point [16:23:50] If you could point me to the right direction I'd be studying up the rest [16:25:37] I have majorly written code in JS and PHP on my last internship [16:28:18] s231: Are the bullet points six and seven on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants clear enough? If not, please explain what you need [16:35:04] Alright thank you so much [16:44:51] s231, you're very welcome. Let us know if you have any specific questions!
