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.
