[20:23:57] <Saqib>	 up
[20:24:31] <Anup>	 Saqib : Joined in here minutes ago. and yeah up.. Slept during day time.
[20:30:05] <anonymous__>	 is there any one out
[20:31:40] <Saqib>	 anonymous__ yes sure
[20:33:02] <anonymous__>	 Actually i was trying for help regarding the contribution for wikimedia . so i would like to know what exactly are the possible tasks on which each of the projects involved with wikimedia is carrying out
[20:33:46] <anonymous__>	 i was not able to get anyone online in mediawiki irc . can you specify the timings that anyone  or more members can be available
[20:35:11] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : Actually, we have the maximum number of members available here right about now. Have you ever edited a Wikipedia artice? If you ask me a specific question, then I might be of your help.
[20:36:02] <anonymous__>	 now i am in the installing phase of wikimedia and simultaneously knowing about the projects that i could help with
[20:36:31] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : Do you have a Wikipedia account?
[20:36:42] <anonymous__>	 no not yet
[20:37:01] <anonymous__>	 as said a newbie
[20:38:08] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : Okay, you may register one, and start with editing/writing/improving articles on subject that interest you most.
[20:39:37] <anonymous__>	 implying you want me to install completely and try the software first . is it ? if i am wrong can you elaborate? is editing equivalent to the normal editing ?
[20:41:16] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : hmm.. "What do you want to INSATLL"? Mediawiki software? I don't think, there is any sub-group of editing, you can say it editing or normal editing or whatever.
[20:42:04] <anonymous__>	 ok implying editing is no way involved with installing mediawiki
[20:42:13] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : Yes,
[20:42:34] <Anup>	 choose a Wikimedia project and join in there, it is free and collaborative project.
[20:42:53] <Anup>	 I will get you a list of projects in a minute..
[20:42:56] <Saqib>	 anonymous__ join #wikivoyage :P
[20:43:09] <Anup>	 Nope, Wikivoyage is tiring. :p
[20:43:27] <Anup>	 Here it is, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Complete_list_of_Wikimedia_projects
[20:43:28] <anonymous__>	 i got it . then how could you expect me to proceed with coding or as a developer?
[20:43:30] <Saqib>	 atleast not dangerous ;)
[20:44:03] <Anup>	 anonymous__ : Well, with coding, you should join Mediawiki project.
[20:44:30] <anonymous__>	 yes after that i will get way . right?
[20:44:52] <Saqib>	 why not see this anonymous https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ
[20:46:09] <Anup>	 It is a collaborative project and yeah I would recommend you going through FAQ and registering an account as baby step towards contributing on Mediawiki, a Wikimedia Foundation project.
[20:46:52] <anonymous__>	 i have seen that already regarding the isntallation of mediawiki
[20:51:02] <anonymous__>	 thanks for the information anup
[20:51:10] <anonymous__>	 and even saqib
[20:51:22] <Anup>	 Coding is not my thing, I volunteer English Wikipedia.. I have been on mediawiki though, but not familiar with theirs functions and type of work to any great extent.. I'd suggest you to give #mediawiki a try.
[20:52:03] <anonymous__>	 the thing is mediawiki is not active all time i hope
[20:52:09] <anonymous__>	 need their active time
[20:56:52] <Anup>	 umm, okay, you may join their community portal then. (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute)
[21:07:30] <anonymous__>	 thanks
[21:09:04] <anonymous__>	 a lot
