GSOC as an experience
From the day it began , till now and more time to come , I have just learnt a lot (almost everyday) something new. As a student , I had to work something that is used by the users live ( something which you cannot always experience while working for a corporate). What I found the most exciting was communication channel . Everytime , someone had any query of any type , it would be posted there , and everyone then came to discuss that , which was very educative and fun. My mentors Irene Cortinovis and Gianluca Rigolleti , didn't ever hesistated to answer my queries at any time , and constantly helped with my tasks and planning. I am lucky to be a part of WikiToLearn :)


This is what I learned during GSoC:

  • Docker and Vagrant
  • Mediawiki Extension Development
  • Mediawiki community
  • KDE community
  • Lots of Javascript Concepts.
