Hi! I’m Ireas (Robin) from the German Wikipedia (this is the reason for my perfect English ;)) and I’d like to help coding, patching, building extensions, etc. Of course I read the help page “How to become a hacker”, but actually it didn’t really help me as I have no ideas what to do. But I read a “lack of ideas” is no problem and that there were enough things to do. I didn’t find a list of these tasks, so I’d be pleased if you could give me some tips and hints what to do. Thank you! Robin (aka ireas)

A very, very big list is here:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
Try looking for bugs with the "easy" keyword:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=easy&bug_status=NEW&...
You can submit patches on Bugzilla. Be aware, though, that we don't have any formal patch review process, and your patch might end up getting ignored and bitrotting. You can ask people to review your patches either on this mailing list, or irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki, but try not to be too annoying. After you've submitted a couple of patches, you could request commit access (linking to your patches), although there seems to be a long line for that too:
