Hello,
I'm new to this ml, and would like to have some relevant links so I can gather information to have a global overview of how you organize and how to make useful contributions.
Kind regards, mathieu

are two good places to begin.

Thank you, it seems to be exactly what I need. :)
Hello Mathieu, welcome!
These days we are getting many new potential contributors thanks to Google Summer of Code and Outreach Program for Women. We want to know what can we do better for you!

This is very good to hear! Still, we welcome improvements to this "Starter kit" (well put).
Just recently we have started a selection of essential resources for new contributors, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:New_contributors
And we are discussing many other ideas at

Well, I'm not a student nor a woman, but I appreciate all the feedback which is given to me on this thread. So thank you to all of you. For now it looks like to me that I will have to "just sit down and read" as it seems there a lot of documentation I should be accustomed to. At some point I'll reach the page which is talking about "getting into action, closing a bug" or something like that. Sorry I missed the bug triage yesterday.

Ok, I'll add that to my "TO READ" list ;)

I'll try to participate to the next event if it match with my schedule.
Reading [1], I'm wondering if we couldn't have a wiki version of this page that could be updated along the road. For example the text talk about MySQL and but doesn't talk about the MariaDB migration. By the way the two "The Architecture of Open Source Applications" books may find there place on Wikisource, don't you think? But Wikisource isn't the place for books you want to update, may be Wikibooks may be a good place, what do you think?

That chapter was actually written on mediawiki.org, as part of this project: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_architecture_document
The content of the chapter lives in 2 wiki pages: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_history * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki_architecture
You're encouraged to update what needs updating :)

Wikisource could host static versions of the books. Or Wikibooks could host "live" versions of the books. I'm not sure that we'd see many updates to the books outside of the MediaWiki chapter, so right now I'd rather encourage people to edit the content on mediawiki.org.

Ok, thank you for the information. It may be interesting to add this link in [1], and maybe it would be more relevant to use this links on [2] instead of giving a link to [1], what do you think?

Only to honor the subject and initial motivation of this thread:
Recently we started drafting an actual Starter Kit, as Mathieu requested:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:New_contributors/Starter_kit
Edits and questions in the discussion page are welcome. In fact with a bit of focus from a few people during a few days we could get something pretty decent.
Mathieu and other newcomers: your contribution is especially valuable since you still remember how it was when you landed here for the first time.

Glad to hear that I could be useful there. I can't promess feedback before this week end though, I already have a full shedule.
