Dear Pywikibot developers,
I am a Pywikibot user interested in creating a Conda package for Pywikibot.
With your permission and guidance, I would like to contribute to the
Pywikibot Conda package effort.
A Conda package for Pywikibot would provide several advantages over the
existing pip package. Conda offers better management of dependencies,
allowing for isolated environments and easy installation. It caters to
users who prefer Conda as their package manager and facilitates integration
with Conda-based workflows and tools.
I kindly request your permission to proceed with creating the Conda package
and would greatly appreciate your guidance throughout the process. Once
complete, I will share the package link for your review and feedback.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response.

Dear Pywikibot Team,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Adnan, and I'm an aspiring
software developer with a background in teaching and a passion for coding.
I've been honing my skills in Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and
MySQL, and I recently completed a personal project using Flask.
I'm eager to take my skills to the next level by contributing to open
source projects, particularly Pywikibot, which I find fascinating. Before I
dive in, I wanted to inquire if the Pywikibot maintainers are open to new
contributors, and if there are specific areas or tasks that need attention.
I'm dedicated, willing to learn, and excited about the prospect of
contributing to such a valuable project. If there are any guidelines or
resources you could provide to help me get started, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Adnan
Hi,
I think the email somehow didn't reach wikitech-l and some other mailing
lists (except ambassadors)
