Joining the team…

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi!
I’m Ireas (Robin) from the German Wikipedia (this is the reason for my
perfect English ;)) and I’d like to help coding, patching, building
extensions, etc. Of course I read the help page “How to become a
hacker”, but actually it didn’t really help me as I have no ideas what
to do. But I read a “lack of ideas” is no problem and that there were
enough things to do. I didn’t find a list of these tasks, so I’d be
pleased if you could give me some tips and hints what to do.
Thank you!
Robin (aka ireas)

A very, very big list is here:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/

Try looking for bugs with the "easy" keyword:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=easy&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

You can submit patches on Bugzilla. Be aware, though, that we don't
have any formal patch review process, and your patch might end up
getting ignored and bitrotting. You can ask people to review your
patches either on this mailing list, or
irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki, but try not to be too annoying.
After you've submitted a couple of patches, you could request commit
access (linking to your patches), although there seems to be a long
line for that too:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Commit_access_requests
