As reported in bug 53489 comment 29. Regular open source projects have contributors with different types of affiliations: for profit, non-profit, and individual volunteering. "Affiliation" is a word that covers well all of them. "Company" is very alienating in the Wikimedia context because the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia Germany (by far the two main contributors) are not companies themselves.
We should review all korma HTML pages and change companies per affiliation.
Alvaro, You recommended this bug to me on your comment at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58585#c19. However I am still not clear on what I have to do as a microtask(for GSOC 2014) and how I will be submitting it once its done. Vinay
Vinay, the first microtask is to work in this ticket. It is a pretty easy one. Just fork: https://github.com/Bitergia/mediawiki-dashboard work in a fix an do a pull request upstream. Cheers
Alvaro, I have done a pull request for a fix. Based on the comments above the HTML pages needed to be changed as per affiliation and that's what I did. You can see it here: https://github.com/Bitergia/mediawiki-dashboard/pull/43 Could you please take a look at it and let me know if there are anymore changes required. Also how do i get my mentors confirmed? Almost everyone in the projects list(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014) have got mentors confirmed. Thanks Vinay

You might want to contact the mentors directly listed on [[mw:Google_Summer_of_Code_2014]] for your project so they register in Melange. That's off-topic for this specific bug report though.
(In reply to Andre Klapper from comment #5) > Patch isn't clean / includes noisy unrelated changes. Vinay: Do you plan to rework your patch?
