Atul, one of the fun projects that has been sitting on my backburner is to
implement errors and warnings localization for the Web API. The project
would involve some planning, figuring out translation framework, and later
- converting all API modules and extensions to use it. As a result, all
clients, including mobile, will be able to report errors to the users in
their native language. I am not sure how GSOC supervision functions, but I
will definitely be involved with the implementation.
This is slightly bigger than a bug fix, but should be fairly independent
from everything and will give you good exposure into internals as well as
javascript and other clients.

@Quim:While I will love to work under a project and be guided .It will be
great if you can suggest some beginner level project and I can work with
someone or by my own.
I will like to solve arithmetic bugs,logical bugs,deadlock situation and
teamworking bugs.
And one more thing as mediaWiki documentation is so vast, how will I know
in which specific area I have to develop my skills so that I will able to
get the idea as well as solve it which will be proposed for gsoc 2013?Do I
need to contact the mentors?
Thanks for being so helpful.

.If
you can share the documents one should read
before fixing bugs,I will be
highly obliged.
We have many different software projects, and what to read depends pon
what bugs you want to fix.
Why not choosing first a project or a bug that interests you, and then
learn about the pieces involved as you try to fix it?
We can help you find a first bug. What is your area of interest?
