Hi,
I attended the Wikipedia India, Mumbai meetup at the Sophia College
on 31/10/2010 and I am a new member to the wikipedia India community.
My wikipedia user name is 'vivekvc'.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jimmy Wales, Bishaka, Arun, Hari Prasad Nadig
and seniors like Ashwin and Kundan and a few other members of the community
during the event.
Thanks for all the warmth showered on me during the event and also during
the dinner
outing with Jimmy.
I would like to actively contributing to the community. Kindly let me know
how to go
about the whole process.
A reference to a URL that has all the information that beginner needs would
also
be highly appreciated.
Besides if people want to organize monthly wikipedia meetups in Mumbai, I
can do
my bit to make it happen.
Regards,

Hello,
Is this list an appropriate place to be discussing MediaWiki issues?
I was recently setting up a MediaWiki-based wiki and came across a use case
where it did not generate pretty URLs consistently (in function
Title->getLocalURL). I've filed a bug report and submitted a patch:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25718
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25718>As far as I can tell,
this does not break existing links anywhere in a typical MediaWiki
installation such as Wikipedia, but the commentators on the bug report don't
seem convinced.
Could this list with its collective understanding of Wikipedia and
MediaWiki's features be kind enough to comment? It seems like I've touched
something at the core of how MediaWiki works, but in a part of the
getLocalURL function that is rarely used.
Best,
Kiran
