Frances, thank you for your work and for your final report. I wish you well
in your ongoing task ("Finish writing search function for JWBF") and your
future endeavors.
I think Frances's internship went pretty well, and I wrote up a case study
of why it worked out:

(team of mentors, frequent communication, strong relationship, Frances is
great, scope small & cuttable, metacognition). Thanks so much to Tollef Fog
Heen, Brad Jorsch, Merlijn van Deen, and everyone else who helped mentor or
advise this project.

Dan, here's more information on the Growstuff features awaiting funding
for Frances to work on them:

And I've already pointed one new contributor to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Gold_standard -- new folks
who know various programming languages can now follow Frances's lead by
reading the standard, reviewing existing libraries, and writing
evaluations. Which is cool.
best,
