Proposal Welcoming new contributors to Wikimedia Labs and Wikimedia Tool Labs

Proposal Title: Documenting and managing MediaWiki projects
There are several interrelated tasks for this project.
 * 1) New volunteers receive poor documentation on how to begin with wikimedia technologies, if they have a great project idea.
 * 2) Existing projects are not tracked meaning
 * No track record of which projects have become obsolete or frozen, which projects are inter-related and can be merged.
 * Volunteers do not have a defined process for documenting/tracking their projects.

Time Planning
Below is my expected time line

Expected Deliverables
I expect after my internship, the following will be delivered:


 * A process defined for people who want to start working with wikimedia projects, how they start working, what steps they need to follow for their project.
 * Improved documentation and organization of existing projects.
 * A tracking mechanism for projects

Why Me?
The biggest benefit is that I am a fully technical person but also interested in management and documentation. This is the blend required for the project! Since I am able not only to work/explore/understand wikimedia technologies, but also to define processes, tracking, and documentation for them.
