Difficult to say without knowing much about you.
From your blog one can see that you have gone through the list of proposals.
Why not choosing one or two that fit your skills and interests? Then you can
contact the related mentors for further advice.
And what about a microtask? Have you check the links offered at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Microtasks ?
I found this page
http://socialcoding4good.org/organizations/wikimedia
and I select task given in last of volunteer opportunities list.
i.e
Improve our math support using TeX and OCaml. Make it easier for
people to write and read mathematical formulae in Wikipedia.
Is this project valid to show in OPW.
if not then suggest me.
Or at least you can explain yourself with more
details in this list, and we
will do our best helping you finding an appropriate microtask & project.
I have done work on ldap, kannel, api, odtphp, latex, limesurvey
Languages : html, css, javascript, php and mysql

Thanking You
Hi, Navdeep. Thanks for writing to us. I agree with Quim that you
should go ahead and contact the mentors who are mentoring the specific
activities you're interested in that are mentioned on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women . I'm
contacting a few people who are specifically interested in math support
in MediaWiki to see whether they'd be interested in talking with you
about this potential internship.
Some additional steps that might help you:
* Register a free account at
mediawiki.org.
* Request developer access
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access so it'll be easier for
you to navigate Gerrit, our source control system. We'll grant it
within a business day.
* Read the most recent monthly Wikimedia Foundation engineering report
for background on interesting things happening in Wikimedia engineering:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_engineering_report/2012/October
* Read
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki_architecture for
an overview of the MediaWiki web-based application
The deadline for applications to the Women Outreach Program is December
3rd. You are encouraged to list yourself at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates
and link to the relevant pages as soon as possible. We like transparency
and we are used to work-in-progress. :)
Then, come chat with us in our 24/7 chat channel on IRC. Details:

Thanks again.
