Fz-29

MediaWiki

Outcome

edit
  • Option 3: New Creation*
  • During the Wikimania, a few developers came together to collaborate for building a community of Indian Wikimedian Developers to

help local Wikimedia community projects with their technical problems. We are still in the requirement collection phase and here is the link to the sandbox wiki page

  • Also during Hackathon, I got to know about an amazing problem statement - Sum of all paintings. Being from Computer Vision background I decided to work on this. Here is the link to the code of the work. My plan is to refine this work with Miriam (researcher whom I met at this Wikimania) and publish this as a hosted tool.
