Hi Fantasy,
I will look for some small tasks for the beginning.
Maybe
documentation?
You can have a look at the old and current official documentation (the
so-called User's Guide at meta), or you can help out in my attempt to
restructure and rewrite the complete documentation which I started just
about two weeks ago (
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentation). I
want roughly the following structure:
PART 1: Introduction - General Information and Architecture.
PART 2: Administrator's Guide - Installation, Configuration,
Administration, Care & Feeding.
PART 3: User's Guide - Usage of the MediaWiki Software.
PART 4: Developer's Guide - Development, Bug Tracking, Roadmap, Known
Issues, (Feature Requests).
APPENDIX: Additional Information.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions.
I need help especially in two areas:
* Administration - best practices, security issues; part of the
outlined "Administrator's Guide"; wanted: someone with a few months of
experience in administering MediaWiki.
* Development - wanted: someone with experience in PHP and SQL who is
able to write some short intructions how the code works, which scripts
do what, and maybe later some coding guidelines - simply someone to do
some hard work helping other developers to get started easier; this
should be someone not yet involved in the all day's work since I don't
want to absorb time from coding and debugging; part of the outlined
"Developer's Guide".
In Germany we are now officially the "number one
choice" in
Wiki-Software for large wikis.
Thanks to Erik and the c't ;)
Greetings, -asb
Note: This is not a fork from the current "User's Guide"; more about
this is on my Talk page on meta.
