Dear sir/madame;
I am Awah Nadege Tayebatu, female and a Cameroonian. I am an Applied Geology student of the University of Buea, Cameroon. I will love to contribute code to MediaWiki and so will appreciate some guide on how to start contributing and some learning resources i can use as a beginner.
Thank you.
Hi,
Here are some resources I would recommend reading first:
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/New_Developers * Slides: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Technical_Areas_An_Overvie... * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_...
Other than that, general resources about PHP, Javascript, web development, SQL, git can also be useful, depending on the topic you would be interested on contributing. Maybe someone else can provide also some extra tips and resources.
Thank you and welcome!
