Hi I am Shondhi and pursuing my B.Tech from DA-IICT, India. I am currently in my 4th year. My programming language include - C, C++ and Java and web development skills- PHP,javascript,CSS, HTML. I have been around in MediaWiki as a user since 15 days. I have tried to get familiar with the working of the community so far. I am interested to work in the following projects- 1) Allow smoother and easier *Wikimedia Commons pictures discovery.* 2) Tracked in Bugzilla <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/> (?)<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla> *Bug 27001 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27001>* *MW bugzilla* integration extension. 3) Tracked in Bugzilla <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/> (?)<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla> *Bug 46525 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46525>* Build an *interwiki notifications*framework and implement it for InstantCommons. 4) *co-ment-like tool* for inline comments. Tracked in Bugzilla<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/> (?) <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla> *Bug 46440<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46440> * Kindly, find link to my user page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Shondhi_Singhal 1st and 2nd project are the projects that I would like to contribute even if GSOC or IPW dint exist. I have installed mediawiki on my LAMP server. I have also cloned Mozilla bugzilla to the github. I have worked with lightbox in my previous web development projects so I have a base for the 1st project. I tried to contact the mentor of the first project but there has been no response yet. I am here to learn and enhance my skills. Wikipedia gives me a platform where my work can reach to millions of its user. Kindly, guide me to start contributing. Looking forward to the response. Thanks, Shondhi Singhal DA-IICT Gandhinagar

The problem with these projects is that the mentor who proposed them is currently silent, and the Commons community didn't weigh in when I asked. This is why we didn't list them under Featured prpojects ideas at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects Being new in the community I recommend you to go for a safer bet, for a project with a mentor available and a community explicitly engaged.

Good! This reminds me that we should advertise Labs, where you can get your own instance to experiment and test your MediaWiki projects. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access PS: let's use wikitech-l for discussing GSOC / OPW projects, as recommended at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Where_t… .

Hi, I installed mediawiki on WAMP server and got stuck what to do next!! Can i get some guidance in this aspect? Can we get access to Labs? If so, how can we get it? I tried creating an account but it is asking for something like "shell account user name". I would like to have some help here as well.. Thank you, Sandeep, MS by Research, IIIT-Hyderabad.

We recommend support channels at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Where_t… You can get fast answers on IRC. If you want to use a mailing list then wikitech-l is more suitable for GSOC / OPW / OSS contributions topics. Your shell account could be "sandeep" or (as explained in the form):

Another possibility to get your dev environment up and running very quickly is to use Vagrant <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Vagrant>. Ori has been working very hard on setting it up for all platforms, and IMO this should be pushed as our preferred method for new development (and possibly old dev as well). Basically this is a set of scripts that will download and configure a linux virtual machine, and set up all the needed databases and mediawiki configuration files. The actual MediaWiki code will remain on the host machine, making development much easier. On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 9:27 AM, Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
