I signed up to MediaWiki.org on 1 April 2006.

Contributed Fixes
I contributed fixes to the software regularly since March 2006 (first I've only contributed Hebrew language updates, then I started to suggest other fixes), although they were not always accpeted. On 19 June 2006, I was given an access to the Subversion reposity, and was able to directly commit fixes.

Main contributions
I didn't keep a record of my contributions after the SVN access (you can use the the MediaWiki-CVS list from June 2006 on, and search for messages from "rotem@svn.leuksman.com"), but these are my main contributions to the software:
 * Making the Hebrew translation up-to-date.
 * Enabling translations for the ParserFunctions, and all the extension Magic Words.
 * Enabling translation for extension messages.
 * Merging the language checking scripts to checkLanguage.php, which also checks for ignored messages, can display and various forms, etc.
 * Creating the script rebuildLanguage.php, to rebuild and sort messages files automatically.
