Full disclosure: Conflict of Interest

I am a GSoC student in wikimedia and am trying to create a page and add more information to wikipedia. I'm majorly working with commons.wikimedia and pywikibot on image categoriation - T129611. I am also one of the maintainers of coala and have been using it for more than a year.

While searching around the wikis, I noticed that there was no page about coala on wikipedia, and hence wanted to add one. I have tried not to add any promotional or marketing material here and have tried to be as subjective as I could. If you feel there is any promotional material in this page, please drop a comment here or edit the article as you see fit (I'd appreciate if you also drop a comment so that I know what went wrong).

I am also involed in `coala`, although I'm not as close as you guys are. I'll give you my opinion on this topic: the article seems well written, and not advertising. On the other side, I think coala might be a bit too young for a wikipedia article. If it stays, I'm willing to maintain it with you guys. --Rubdos (talk) 20:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
