We have a general guide to being a successful intern at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_projec... It's still under development and we'll be adding more details to it as we move forward in the program.

It is especially encouraging to see the diversity of participants -- by my count, the students hail from five different countries, and nearly half are women. It's also extremely impressive to see volunteers from the community step up to serve as mentors. Kudos!
I'm "ori" on IRC (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC). Feel free to reach out any time and say hello or ask for help.
Welcome to Wikimedia!
Wonderful news! Congrats to all of you. I can't wait to see how you all go about solving all these problems! On 27 Apr 2015 2:17 pm, "Ori Livneh" ori@wikimedia.org wrote:

Wonderful news. Welcome, all, and especially those helping on Editing Department matters. :-)
I'm James_F on IRC and happy to help with any questions.

Congratulations and welcome folks!
After setting off on the yellow brick road of MediaWiki development [1] you may find yourself in a dark forest of 12-year-old inaccurate wiki pages. You have a great opportunity to point out each twig you stumbled over as you go, and thereby help future developers who don't have a mentor strolling along.
- If something in the documentation is obviously wrong, Be Bold and fix it, - If something doesn't seem right, start a topic on its talk page and e-mail me. - If there's a missing piece, file a Phabricator ticket tagged #documentation https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=documentation .
Thanks in advance, have fun, see you in Oz^w IRC. I'm spagewmf.
It's also extremely impressive to see volunteers from the community step up
to serve as mentors
+1 !
