I am not too familiar with the existing codebase a lot, especially how to
find data science work, maybe someone else can jump in. Something that can
help me too, actually.

Yes, I have used PAWS before and it was far easier for me.
Also, are there any areas of the codebase that you will recommend that I
start solving issues in, as I get more familiar with this tools?

Hi Tambe,
First of all, welcome to Wikimedia. If you are having trouble using
Toolforge you can ask about your specific issue, the good thing about
toolforge is that you can run long jobs (often required when working with
large data) in grid
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Grid>. Otherwise,
you can consider using PAWS <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/PAWS> which
is a jupyter notebook environment and you can also access various databases
from here as is.

Greetings,
My name is Tambe Tabitha Achere and I just got a Bachelor of Engineering
in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and I am pursuing a career in
Data Science. I am Cameroonian.
I learnt how to code and Data science using books, videos and online
tutorials. I code in Python. I know SQL too.
I think contributing to opensource and the exposure it gives me will be
a good test of my knowledge. However, I tried contributing earlier and I
was a little confused with how to use toolforge and how to get datasets
from the dumps into analysis-friendly structures like Pandas Dataframes.
Are there areas of the codebase that needs analytical skills which I can
contribute to which don't initially require a lot of knowledge about
mediawiki customized tools? This will give me a softer landing as I start
to contribute again.
Please let me know if there are any issues or projects you recommend.
Best regards,
Tambe Tabitha Achere.
