What steps are required to contribute to development of mediawiki? Presumably there is a web page somewhere?
You need * a web server (recommended Apache) * PHP * MySQL
You can download Mediawiki from SourceForge if it is working. It can be possible to find static dumps of the code somewhere near the database dumps.
You do *not* need to download an entire Wikipedia of any flavour :-) Just sticking a minimal page-set into your installation should be sufficient if you want to hack the code. (Although it might be an idea to provide a minimal page-set as a download so that everybody can reset to the same position for testing...)
