Hi Everyone, As an applicant of FOSS-OPW Round 7, I took a deep and profound interest in one of the featured projects "Complete the MediaWiki development course at Codeacademy". I chosen I am planning to focus and contribute to this project.
***Project Synopsis***
The project is about completing the media wiki development course on Code Academy and also enhancing the course.
- The Primary goal of the project is to develop instructional materials to teach students to use Wikimedia API. Currently the course shows only rudimentary API usage. What needs to be done is significantly more sections, better explanations and tests/walkthroughs for students to complete. - The secondary goal of the project is that the tutorial does not need to cover all options (there are too many of them), but should get students started with the basic usage scenarios for most of the common tasks API users expect.
