Dear Wikimedia Team,
I am Prastut Kumar, a CS undergrad hailing from India and currently
pursuing my Bachelors in Computer Science and engineering from VIT
University, Chennai Campus.
Wikipedia has always been a source of knowledge for people like me hailing
from nations where information, valuable information cannot be found.
"Knowledge shared is knowledge earned".
Most of the time, while browsing through wiki, I have always thought of
donating but couldn't due to economic reasons. But as I was going through
GSOC voila! I found wikipedia there and also having separate design
section! I wish to contribute to the design and aesthetics of the
wikimedia project and gain essential skills to pursue my career as a web
developer-cum-UI/UX expert.
I know, I know GSOC has started. But there might be some opportunities
which would still be open for a guy like me. I should make this very clear
that I am solely contributing for the sake of contributing, not with any
expectations attached to it.
My question to you guys is, from where do I start contributing? How do I
begin?
Regards
Prastut
