Why wikimedia?
I have always known that wikimedia has got the largest active community and I have liked the fact that various contributors are doing their best to try and help the educational community.

  ~ == About the project == Problem intended to solve Extensions on mediawiki.org are not very well organized and finding the right extension is often difficult. All the extensions are equally visible and the existing system based on categories doesn't help much to find the extesions that are more useful and robust. The community needs better management of extension pages with categorization, ratings on code quality, security,usefulness, ease of use, etc. Good extensions should be given more visibility.There are about 2,131 extensions on mediawiki.org and the users/developers always find it extremely tough to choose the extensions they need. Project proposal Organizing and cataloging extensions used in wikimedia based on the reviews given by the users as a follow up of research conducted on the various extensions available conducted within the wikimedia community. An extension would be ranked based on the reviews of its various features like its security aspects, usefulness and quality of code. Various extensions along with their MediaWiki versions should be displayed. Deliverables A properly organised catalogue list of extensions available in wikimedia along with their review ratings Documentation Project timeline ''It look like you want to catalog all the dtuff on your own. That's not the Wiki Way :-) ''Katkov Yury (talk) 10:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Past experiences
Nope first time as an open source contributor and so I chose Wikimedia - the one being extremely active and I would to become a regular contributor so that I can give back something to the FOSS community using the skills I've got.
