I am Prastut Kumar, a CS undergrad hailing from India and currently pursuing my Bachelors in Computer Science and engineering from VIT University, Chennai Campus.

Wikipedia has always been a source of knowledge for people like me hailing from nations where information, valuable information cannot be found. 

"Knowledge shared is knowledge earned".

Most of the time, while browsing through wiki, I have always thought of donating but couldn't due to economic reasons. But as I was going through GSOC voila! I found wikipedia there and also having separate design section!  I wish to contribute to the design and aesthetics of the wikimedia project and gain essential skills to pursue my career as a web developer-cum-UI/UX expert.

I know, I know GSOC has started. But there might be some opportunities which would still be open for a guy like me. I should make this very clear that I am solely contributing for the sake of contributing, not with any expectations attached to it. 

My question to you guys is, from where do I start contributing? How do I begin? 

Regards

Prastut
