Hello David,

Thanks! Really good job. This is exactly what we're looking for.

I'd like to suggest a few changes that I think would improve your essay and make it even better. Except for the first one, they're not mandatory, so if you prefer to resubmit your task immediately for review without making the other changes, I want you to know that I'll mark it as approved anyway. The changes I suggest (besides the first one) are completely voluntary :)

Here are a few pointers for improvement:

• The Google Docs formatting is nice indeed, but the final essay needs to be on mediawiki.org, so even if it isn't as pretty, it should have the same content. You've added links to the Google Docs document; can you add them to the document on mediawiki.org?
• Your essay has a lot of interesting content, and is well-written. What I feel is missing is the story; what were your goals while exploring? Were you "wandering aimlessly", or did you have something in mind? Have you ever installed MediaWiki, or tried to report bugs? Would you consider contributing to its development? etc.
• Last, I think it might help with the storytelling part if you started with the pywikibot part. I feel it would make the essay more enticing by allowing the reader to follow you in your footsteps, in a more chronological manner.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Keep up the good work! guillom 20:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
