Hi,
What if we added extra projects to phabricator for programming
languages (such as language-php, language-c)
I think a previous step should e to have landing pages for such languages
in
mediawiki.org, pointing to the main projects and resources related to
such languages. Quite often we meet new potential developers that want to
contribute but have no strong opinion about where. They do have an opinion
about their programming skills, so usually the reply is I can code in this
or that language.
Once a page like i.e. mw:Java exists and it is linked from the right
venues, then it starts making sense to tag Phabricator tasks requiring Java
skills, hopefully finding some Easy ones to offer a great search query for
whoever might be interested.

for...' idea, which at least in the case of Mozilla started by asking you
to choose a programming langiage).
