[16:44:48] <Bacondrinker>	 Hey guys
[17:07:44] <Bacondrinker>	 Anybody home? :P
[18:43:08] <legoktm>	 hi
[19:14:44] <Bacondrinker>	 Hey
[19:17:21] <legoktm>	 Bacondrinker: did you have a question?
[19:17:37] <Bacondrinker>	 Kinda
[19:18:08] <Bacondrinker>	 I want to get into open source and I read on /r/php that mediawiki is trying to break up everything into small components
[19:18:22] <Bacondrinker>	 I sort of want to know how I can start to contribute etc etc
[19:18:28] <Bacondrinker>	 In my spare time
[19:21:11] <legoktm>	 awesome! so, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker is a good place to get started with
[19:21:32] <legoktm>	 do you have any PHP or JS experience? (we also have stuff in other languages like Python and Ruby)
[19:21:44] <Bacondrinker>	 Yeah, I'm a full time PHP Developer
[19:21:57] <Bacondrinker>	 I also do front end stuff by I suck at it pretty bad so I leave that to others :)
[19:22:35] <Bacondrinker>	 Atm I work mostly on a project to help companies manage event / products track order etc
[19:22:45] <Bacondrinker>	 complicated, but no where near as complicated as mediawiki I imagine
[19:23:06] <Bacondrinker>	 I wanted to come to the IRC mainly because when I saw the main project on gitub I was a bit intimidated by its sizew
[19:23:08] <Bacondrinker>	 size*
[19:23:48] <legoktm>	 yeah, MW is extremely large and pretty complicated
[19:24:17] <legoktm>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki_architecture is a pretty good guide to how it all comes together though
[19:24:29] <Bacondrinker>	 ooh thanks, I'll give it a read
[19:24:35] <Bacondrinker>	 I am really interested in helping to split things out into little components and then maybe maintain a few
[19:25:16] <Bacondrinker>	 After I get used to things ofc and make a few successful PRs
[19:26:30] <legoktm>	 so we have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Library_infrastructure_for_MediaWiki/Library_list which is some of the components inside MW that are (probably) suitable for splitting into separate libraries
[19:26:42] <Bacondrinker>	 Oooh thanks
[19:26:52] <Bacondrinker>	 I'll bookmark these and give them a read on the train journey to work in the morning
[19:28:26] <legoktm>	 the general process is to look through the code, see what other parts of MW it depends on, and whether those are hard dependencies (throwing a "MWException" instead of "Exception", etc.), and then submit a patch to move it to the includes/libs directory which is where we keep code that is not MW specific, but hasn't been split out into a separate library yet. Then we'll split it into a separate library and bring it in via composer
[19:29:23] <Bacondrinker>	 Awesome, I'll give it a read through. I'm going to try and stay active in the IRC and then maybe in a week or two I can make a PR :)
[19:30:08] <legoktm>	 :) if you have any questions feel free to ping me.
[19:30:14] <Bacondrinker>	 will do
