It should definitely link to the Annoying little bugs

a decent selection of bugs that new developers can fix.
Not 100% sure the scope of this page though. Was it meant to attract just
extension, gadget, et. al developers? Or was it also meant to attract
developers for the core as well?
Thank you,

To help new developers get into MediaWiki core and extensions, there's
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker (which
does of course link to Annoying Little Bugs). To help new developers
get into the web API, there's
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API although I know these aren't as great
as the API documentation that Meetup, Etsy, Flickr, and similar sites
provide. To help new gadget developers, there is
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen . And to help new
developers discover various cross-Wikimedia tech projects, there is
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_developer_hub .
Just wanted people to know so they don't reinvent the wheel. :)
