Hello African Wikimedia Developers,
We now have an official Phabricator project and work board for the Africa Wikimedia Developer program. On this work board, we will be collaborating mostly via the featured tasks column where you all should work on tasks to build your profiles and contribute to the Wikimedia movement via MediaWiki and its extensions.
The work board [1] has many columns but developers should focus on the "Featured Tasks" column which they can pick up any task from there and work on it. I will personally curate a list of easy tasks for us to keep working on them from time to time in order to build our profile and become better developers.
Also, if you see an easy task you think someone can work on if you don't have time, just make sure to edit the tasks and add a tag "Africa-Wikimedia-Developers" on it so it can immediately appear on our work board for someone to pick it up. The work board will go a long way to improve on our collaboration and increase the level of focus.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me and I will get to you or just ask on the mailing list (recommended) so that we all share ideas. Thank you all and have a nice day. Happy Hacking!!!

Thank you Derick. I just joined the project and had a look at the Workboard. For now the Featured tasks section is empty, I do not see tasks or assignments, but only followup items such as *Post-Event follow up for AWMD - Ghana Training*.

Hi All,
This is a very nice initiative as it will facilitate the learning process to the developers. I will suggest the various communities managing extensions should be contacted so that they can facilitate with providing the tasks which the know will be good for starters( I say so because at the beginning for me was not easy as thr initial task i took was like a major task and this may be discouraging at times). Please keep up the good work at AWMD Best Eugene Egbe

Hello Eugene,
Thanks so much for the suggestions. It's well noted and I plead with you that if you find any task suitable for starters in any extension you are working on, just put on the Featured Tasks column on the AWMD work board. Let the work begin.
Together we can do it. Thanks again for the suggestion Eugene. Samuel G, you can help curate a list too. Your experience/expertise is very much appreciated. 😊
*Kind regards* *Alangi Derick N*
