For the hackathon in Pune, I prepared an 'intro to hacking mediawiki' tutorial for novices. There are a few mistakes in the tutorial, feel free to adjust as needed: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker/Extension_Wr...
Also, Sumana prepared a 'How to become a Mediawiki Hacker' workshop, outlined here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker/Workshop

Hey guys, I'm going to be giving a presentation next month at the University of
Chile
to their incoming freshman CS students on how to get started with
volunteer
open source software development and specifically MediaWiki development.
If
anyone has material that would be useful for such a presentation (slides, charts, documentation, funny pictures, etc.), please let me know.
Things I'm hoping to incorporate already: http://openhatch.org/ (lots of good newbie resources) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker (intro documentation) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs (good places to
start)
Sumana (human interface)
Thanks.
