Hi Travis,

All this to say, I'd like to see if I can help out on the pywikibot project itself, though I don't have a specific wiki that I work on or a specific bot that I'd like to write.

Amir already gave some excellent pointers; there are two more things I'd like to mention:

- the documentation could be improved in many aspects. Help in that area is always much appreciated.

- some bugs are marked as 'easy' - those should be fixable by people that do not know the code base in detail. Those are currently the following bugs: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=easy%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&known_name=pywikibot&list_id=320329&o1=anywordssubstr&product=Pywikibot&query_based_on=pywikibot&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&resolution=LATER&resolution=DUPLICATE

I've gotten as far as installing a vagrant instance of Media Wiki and cloning the "core" branch of pywikibot, though I haven't gotten them talking to each other just yet.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis has notes on that, but most of them are outdated (see my previous point on documentation ;-)). Using generate_family_file.py should get you there.
