It should definitely link to the Annoying little bugs page as well. It contains a decent selection of bugs that new developers can fix.
Not 100% sure the scope of this page though. Was it meant to attract just extension, gadget, et. al developers? Or was it also meant to attract developers for the core as well?
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
To help new developers get into MediaWiki core and extensions, there's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker (which does of course link to Annoying Little Bugs). To help new developers get into the web API, there's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API although I know these aren't as great as the API documentation that Meetup, Etsy, Flickr, and similar sites provide. To help new gadget developers, there is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen . And to help new developers discover various cross-Wikimedia tech projects, there is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_developer_hub .
Just wanted people to know so they don't reinvent the wheel. :)
