More detailed information on all of these projects can be found on our GSoC 2010 projects page. Also, Wikipedia Signpost is highlighting this work over the coming weeks, starting with a summary of Brian Wolff’s XMP metadata project.
Though not all projects were finished completely as specified, all were completed to a sufficient degree that we felt very comfortable passing all of the students, and all of the students produced code we’re very happy to have. Note that there is no guarantee that anything here will get beyond the proof-of-concept stage. However, we’re hopeful that much of this work will find broader adoption, and we’re looking forward to that.
We hope that all of the students stick around as MediaWiki contributors long after the summer is over. Please join us in thanking them for their participation this year!
