User:Tuxilina/OPW Report

Progress report and status of the FOSS OPW internship - Wikipedia article translation metrics project.

How was your landing and your first meeting(s) with your mentors?
I started the MediaWiki development by finding some easy bugs and fixing them, in order to get accustomed with the MediaWiki core. The community has been really helpful and they managed to give me some tips related to the commit process, which can be a bit tedious at first. But after some commits everybody gets used to it. After this I got in contact with Amir and we had a Skype meeting where I got a glimpse on the metrics used by the Content Translation extension, and we also talked on IRC during this period and he gave me some small tasks to do.

I also had another Skype meeting with Neta, the other intern on this project, and we got to know each other and talked about us and a bit about the project we are currently working on.

What is the way of working that you have agreed?

 * we are mainly going to use IRC, Skype and/or Google Hangouts;
 * another way of changing thoughts is through Phabricator conpherence;
 * also, communicating via emails will be an option when we will not be able to meet at the same time;

Lessons learned since you applied for this OPW round and since you were accepted

 * used Phabricator for bug tracking
 * also used Phabricator through conpherences for a casual place to meet and talk with other people involved in this project
 * started some Coursera classes that will offer me a base ground for the data analysis field.

Project plan and deliverables expected in the first half of the program.
Deliverables and a detailed timeline can be found on this page.
