Description

IMPORTANT: Make sure to read the Outreachy participant instructions and communication guidelines thoroughly before commenting on this task. This space is for project-specific questions, so avoid asking questions about getting started, setting up Gerrit, etc. When in doubt, ask your question on Zulip first!

Brief summary

BUB2 tool helps community members upload books, newspapers, magazines, gazettes, etc. from public libraries such as Google Books, Panjab Digital Library, and Trove Digital Library to Internet Archive. BUB2 has been helpful for the Wikisource community to import texts from different public libraries to Wikisource. Currently, Wikisource volunteers are using the BUB2 tool to import texts to the Internet Archive and the IA Upload tool to import them back to Wikimedia Commons. The latter could be easily deprecated by integrating the Wikimedia ecosystem (Commons, Wikidata, and Wikisource) in the BUB2 tool so that volunteers can directly upload the texts to Wikisource and correctly cite them to Wikidata item.

Skills required

React.js, Node.js, Next.js, Wikimedia APIs - especially Commons and Wikidata APIs

Hi @wassan.anmol117 Thank you so much for offering to mentor! It appears to be an interesting project.

However, Is it possible to outline the internship tasks/deliverables for the project (can be several that can be completed in the 3 month internship period) rather than having only one large project deliverable.

Also, I'd be restricting access to this task for the project pre-application period. If anyone else needs to be added to the restricted group as mentors, let us know.

Thank you!

@Maryann-Onyinye I've submitted the proposal to Outreachy. However, I need some help with selecting the preferred communication channel. I've been thinking of using Zulip. Is there a topic already or should I create a new one for BUB2 tool?

Hi @wassan.anmol117 Submission received, Thanks!
You can create a topic for this project in the Outreachy-27 stream. I have also added you and co-mentors to the private Outreachy mentor stream.

Thanks!

I noticed that there is no description or link to task/documentation for Microtask: T315134: Add search bar in queue. Can you add a brief description or link that guides interns as they work this task during the contribution period. Thanks @wassan.anmol117

@Maryann-Onyinye Thanks a lot. I've created a new topic in the Outreachy-27 stream. I've updated the same in the Outreachy application as well.

I've also updated the description for T315134.

Thanks!
