Community bonding period
editHere are some recommended steps for current interns:
- Start communicating with your mentors on refining your project proposal, finalizing deadlines and setting milestones
- Join Zulip, a communication platform that program administrators will use to share announcements and opportunities for participating in Wikimedia activities
- Write blogposts (first due by May 7th) and add it to the Bi-weekly Reports page
- When you complete a task other than the coding work, for example, join Zulip, pass an evaluation phase, write a blogpost, make sure to add it to the Updates column in the Accepted projects section above
- Upload your profile picture on Wikimedia Commons, and add it below your name in the Accepted projects section above
- Stay in touch with Wikimedia community members and help them learn about you more:
- Read stories from across the Wikimedia movement on Medium
- Watch previous videos on Wikimedia technical topics
