Great! Thanks for joining us. Ram, the best place to start to work on MediaWiki, the web app that Wikipedia runs on, is

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker

If you are comfortable in PHP, you'll find it easy to use that page as a guide to then fix a small bug:

If you prefer working on our mobile side, check out:

Feel free to ask me for help via email, or -- better, come into our group chat room via Internet Relay Chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mediawiki

Best of luck, and welcome!
