[wp-hackers] WordPress - GSoC '13 Application

[Shivansh Srivastava]

Hi,

I am Shivansh, pursuing Engineering at BITS Pilani, currently in my Final
year.

I am versed in Web Technologies focusing mainly UI, that include HTML5,
JavaScripts (jQuery, ExtJs), CSS.

I have worked in my college on several websites with the same knowledge. I
had also given a talk at the 3rd WikiConference held in Mumbai, India,
on "Improving
Wiki UI using AJAX &
jQuery<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Improving_the_Wiki_User_Interface_using_AJAX_%26_jQuery.pdf>"
& presented 4 ideas/projects with the Wiki community. The mockups of my
presentation and the ideas presented in it are
here<https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/>
.

I also worked with the Scripps Research Institute on the project -
"BioGPS:JQuery-based
BioGPS gene-report layout
canvas<https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/shivansh/94002>"
- under
Mr. Ian Macleod, as part of GSoC 2012. (Sample
Code<https://bitbucket.org/Apoc/biogps_jquery>
)

My main aim in any project is improvement of User-Interface, so that the
end user is the one who is gains the most by the simplicity and
effectiveness of the project.

I browsed through the Ideas list, but couldnt find any jQuery based
project, as I searched through the tags in the accepted orgs list.
Kindly let me know if there is any UI project/idea with js/jquery/CSS
applicability that I may work on.

Thank you.

With Regards,
Shivansh
