Hello everybody, I am Tanu, a third year undergraduate from Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi, India. I have had prior experience designing a REST API in Python for which I collaborated to use various APIs available and Beautiful Soup as well as Flask. I want to contribute to pywikibot and am aiming at GSoC'16. Where should I start? What should I do? Thank you for considering, Tanu Hari Dixit.
Hi Tanu,
thanks for your interest!

Have you checked out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs already? That page links to guides how to get started with development and it also links to Pywikibot tasks suited for new contributors.
If something is unclear, please ask. Happy to help! :)
Cheers, andre
Hi Andre, Thank you for the link. I have been experiencing a lot of trouble while setting up dependencies for pywikibot. While installing 'oursql' the terminal shows the following error: ----------------------------------------------------------- mysql.h: No such file or directory #include "mysql.h" ^ compilation terminated. error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------- This was probably because i didn't have mysql-c++ connector installed. Hence, I installed the mysql-server. It automatically installed mysql-client. Further, I downloaded the tar ball for my 64 bit ubuntu 14.04 system for mysql-c++ connector. I read the INSTALL file and it directed me to download CMake and Boost. I did so and as the INSTALL file says: "Run CMake to build a Makefile me@host:/path/to/mysql-connector-cpp> cmake ." So I change directory into the untarred folder ( of mysql-c++ connector tarball ) and run the 'cmake .' command. However, my terminal shows that it can't find any CMakeLists.txt files in the folder. When I searched for a file with this name, I found that there are four of them in the 'boost' folder at different levels (such as :
/home/thd/Downloads/boost_1_59_0/libs/test/test/CMakeLists.txt
/home/thd/Downloads/boost_1_59_0/libs/serialization/CMake/CMakeLists.txt etc) While this link ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-installation-source.... ) suggests that I do the following:
cmake . -DBOOST_ROOT:STRING=/usr/local/boost_1_40_0
but I can't seem to locate a folder named boost in /usr/local. Though, I do find lots of .a and .so file with their names starting from libboost in /usr/local/lib. Though, again it has no CMakeLists.txt file in it. I'm unable to make this dependency work for me. It would be great if you helped me in configuring this. I so want to contribute to pywikibot, and learn in the process. Thank you for bearing with me. Tanu.

You can remove oursql from requirements.txt.
It is an optional dependency, and not frequently used.

Thank you Mpaa and jayvdb for your instant help. I have installed libmysqlcppconn-dev but it hasn't solved the problem. I'm leaving oursql uninstalled for the now. Thank you so much. Tanu.
