Hello Arushi, The first entry point for any newcomer to mediawiki is - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker First get yourself familiar with mediawiki, and try your hands on easy bugs on Phabricator http://phabricator.wikimedia.org , the bug tracker for Wikimedia projects.
Meanwhile look for things that might interest you and have a look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/ for ideas on any existing prospective projects.
And feel free to ask questions on #mediawiki or #wikimedia-dev on freenode irc :)
-Regards, Sumit

Hi everyone,
I am a third year Computer Science undergraduate from India. I am interested in contributing to Wikimedia Foundation.Can anyone help me get started?
I am currently working on making a Wikipedia Search Engine for ~50 GB of Wikipedia data . The project involves applying various indexing and retrieving techniques to make the engine scalable and efficient.
Thank you.
