Hi,
Thank you for showing interest in open source programming, there is a
guideline for hacking pywikibot in here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Development_guideline>
There are lots of open bugs
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Pywikibot>

Hi,
My name is Travis Briggs and I'm a software developer who currently works
at Google in California. I've always had a soft spot for Wikipedia and
wondered how I could get more involved and contribute more. Today, I was
thinking about how it's a shame that Media Wiki is written in PHP, as that
is a language that I'm not really interested in hacking on in my spare
time. Then I found pywikibot. Python is probably the language I have the
most current experience in, besides maybe Javascript, and I'm familiar with
web API usages.
All this to say, I'd like to see if I can help out on the pywikibot
project itself, though I don't have a specific wiki that I work on or a
specific bot that I'd like to write.
I've gotten as far as installing a vagrant instance of Media Wiki and
cloning the "core" branch of pywikibot, though I haven't gotten them
talking to each other just yet.
Thanks!
-Travis
