Africa Wikimedia Technical Community/hu



 .  A holnap fejlesztőinek nevelése.

 A projekt célja minél több afrikai fejlesztő felkutatása, valamint bevonása a Wikimédia Alapítvány projektjeibe. Küldetésünk egy olyan platform létrehozása, ahol a tanulni hajlandó résztvevők a Wikimédia Alapítvány projektjeivel fejlődhetnek és sajátíthatnak el új képességeket.

Részt szeretnél venni?
There are several ways you can get involved in becoming an Africa Wikimedia Developer. Are you from the African continent, tech inclined and interested in open knowledge? If yes, join the community via african-wikimedia-developerslists.wikimedia.org. Kindly follow the steps below to acquaint yourself with skills that are required in our community.

Step 1: Learn how to become a MediaWiki Hacker
Be patient, take your time and read the following highly resourceful documentation:



Step 2: Wikimedia's Code Review (CR) and development platform
is the name of the Code Review(CR) software in Wikimedia and it's the heart of the software development process. It's almost impossible to do software development in Wikimedia (in a standard way) without using Gerrit. Create an account on the Gerrit Website and get . You can also have a look at the Gerrit Tutorials Gerrit Tutorials] on how to setup Gerrit on your PC.

Step 3: Familiarize yourself with Phabricator
Wikimedia uses an open source development platform called: Phabricator, it is mainly used for project management, software bug reporting and request for features. It's not that complicated to use and you can login to Wikimedia's phabricator using your MediaWiki account.

Phabricator has a lot of functionalities but as a developer, the functionalities you will mostly used are focused on; creating tasks, resolving tasks, uploading files, feature request etc. So, we don't expect you will learn all of Phabricator's functionality (except you want to). We will focus on what we need for a start and keep learning as time goes.

Step 4: Bonding with the Wikimedia developer community
There are of course many different ways to bond with the developer community in the Wikimedia Movement, but the fastest and most comfortable way for most developers is on Internet_Relay_Chat IRC. Wikimedia has so many IRC channels and the particular channel for developers is:. This is a starting point and on this channel, you can introduce yourself and make your interest known to the community and wait for a while, be rest assured that someone in the channel will guide you or react to your message. You can also ask technical questions on the channel and someone might answer you or point you to resources that will enable you find the answer(s) to your question(s).

5. lépés: Állítsd be a MediaWikit helyileg és kezdj hozzá!
Nagyon jó, hogy itt tartasz; a további teendők előtt javasoljuk a 2. lépés elvégzését, mivel innentől a két lépés sokszor fog egymásra hivatkozni. MediaWiki can be installed following this this docs and after this, it will be available locally and you can also see how to clone the MediaWiki Core in the Gerrit Tutorials in Step 2. After mastering all the first 4 steps, developing on MediaWiki will be relatively easy so we recommend that you take your time and master the first 4 steps before diving to this last step.

Happy hacking on MediaWiki!!!
