Hello everyone,
I am Aashish Mittal, a final year student from Mumbai University, India. I
aim to take part in GSoC 2012 with Mediawiki and wish to get an early start
in knowing and understanding the software well.
I am relatively new to the organizationg. I have been through the intro
steps <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker> and
the project ideas of this year. I have started working on the code and
submitted a patch for one of the bugs (bug
33545<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33545>)
and am looking into solving more bugs.
I am going through the projects and the attached links. However, I would
request some more details on the following projects:
1. Integration of Mediawiki/Sakai: I have been a GSoC student with Sakai in
2010, so I would like to explore the project more deeper.
2. Convention extension for converting mediawiki wiki into website for
conference. I have been through the links, but I would like to get a better
technical understanding of this project related to the implementation of
the project. Any appropriate link or some useful guidelines would be great.
Apart from the above two projects, I am interested in a couple of more
projects (Create a way to have “books” for
wikisource/wikibooks<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1507…
Give editors a way to slice
and dice their watchlists with
groups)<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5875>75>.
I am going through the comments on their bugzilla page.
Kindly provide me with some suggestions or tips which would help me
understand the project and their implementation aspects better. Any help
regarding the same would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aashish
