Thread:Talk:Mentorship programs/Possible projects/GSOC 2013 candidates missing one thing or two/reply (24)

Hello, I hope I am not writing in the wrong place. I am a student(4h year in Department of Informatics, University of Athens) interested in Gsoc and would like to apply for a project in wikimedia. On this page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013 (Incremental data dumps -> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28956 and especially this post: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:ArielGlenn/Dumps_new_format_%28deltas,_changesets%29 ) I have found an interesting subject that I have some experience with. Is this still open, because on this page I don't see it anywhere? My experience on this issue come from my involvement recently in the Sigmod 2013 Programming Contest, where we faced many similar issues. The competition was in C++ but the theoretical background is similar and XML-Python will definitely not be the problem I imagine. If this project is not available any more, it would be really helpful to point me towards something else available and similar. I have strong skills in C,C++,Python,Java,Web Languages(JS,CSS,PHP,HTML) and the ability and time to learn anything else needed.
