Hello Arushi, The first entry point for any newcomer to mediawiki is - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker First get yourself familiar with mediawiki, and try your hands on easy bugs on Phabricator <http://phabricator.wikimedia.org> , the bug tracker for Wikimedia projects.
Meanwhile look for things that might interest you and have a look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/ for ideas on any existing prospective projects. And feel free to ask questions on #mediawiki or #wikimedia-dev on freenode irc :) -Regards, Sumit On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 8:19 PM, Arushi Dogra <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am a third year Computer Science undergraduate from India.
