[16:03:48] Hi. I'm relatively new at developing and wanted to find a way to contribute [16:05:12] I'm trying to find any relatively small bugs or tasks I can try to get a hands on idea about things [16:05:31] Can anyone point me in a suitable direction? [18:42:33] SoniWP_: hi! what language(s) are you trying to learn? [18:43:35] I've got a lot of new developer-friendly tasks for the Wiki Ed / Programs & Events dashboard, which is ruby and javascript. [18:44:03] I dont mind trying out Javascript to be honest [18:44:07] If that suits you, come on over to #wikimedia-ed and we can chat about a good place to start. [18:44:44] Currently I just want to try out projects that can help me learn the basics. Hopefully with scope for larger projects once I get to them [18:44:59] Python will be a language I prefer trying more than the others though :) [18:45:24] In case there are any python based projects I can contribute to [18:45:59] there are probably some... you might want to ask around in #wikimedia-reserach or #wikimedia-ai [18:46:09] the people there have a lot of python-heavy projects. [18:47:08] Gotcha. [18:47:27] but, I think the dashboard project is a great one to learn general programming basics, and ruby has a lot of overlap with with python in terms of learning how to think with it. [18:48:27] most important thing, though, is to find a project where the goal is motivating to you in the short term. that's what I found, between my own unsuccessful and later successful attempts to learn. [18:48:49] I dont think I need that much help with programming basics as much. It's more of learning where I can develop soemthing [18:49:34] And trying something I might like. Basically what you said :) [18:50:19] yeah. I learned some basics a long while ago, but I never got to the point where I felt like I could just build something from scratch before finding a project that really motivated me, and spending a lot of time helping while other people led the way on it. [18:50:26] your mileage may vary. [18:52:26] Makes sense.
