Google Code-in has a category specific to documentation / training tasks. Can the students of this program help us fixing our Bug #1?
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In#Documentation.2FTraining
Your help identifying tasks is welcome! There is no lack of work to do in our documentation, both at mediawiki.org (plus other sites) and our code.
Good type of tasks for Google Code-in related to documentation and training include:
* Fixing typos and other language improvements in mediawiki.org pages. Do we have a specific category to mark those pages?
* Update documentation.
* Write step-by-step tutorials, or create the corresponding screencasts.
* Illustrate documentation with screenshots.
* Write examples.
Each task should take about 2-3 hours to an experienced contributor (with the environment all setup, aware of the background...), 2-3 days to a total newcomer.
Also, having a couple of meta-mentors focusing on documentation related tasks would be great, and in fact needed.
