¿Quieres trabajar en el código de Wikimedia y necesitas ideas por donde empezar?

Wikimedia's la comunidad tecnica siempre da la bienvenida a nuevos contribuidores a nuestros proyectos.

Forme parte de una comunidad global y ayude a que el acceso al conocimiento libre sea más fácil para todos!

Contribuir a Wikimedia es un proceso de cuatro pasos:


 * 1) Escoge un proyecto de software
 * 2) Instalado vuestro entorno de desarrollo
 * 3) Escoge y resuelve una tarea (escribe y prueba tu código)
 * 4) Envíe sus cambios de código

Algunos aspectos básicos que hay que saber
Wikimedia tiene cientos de proyectos de software en muchas áreas diferentes. si quieres tener una visión general.

Los mantenedores de cada proyecto de software son bastante libres de elegir la infraestructura que prefieran. En general, básicamente todos los proyectos de software tienen


 * Un task tracking herramienta en la que se notifican, gestionan y debaten los fallos de los programas informáticos y las solicitudes de mejora.Ejemplos son Wikimedia Phabricator, GitHub, o Sourceforge.
 * a code repository where the source code can be "checked out" to everybody. Examples are Wikimedia Git/Gerrit, GitHub, or Sourceforge.
 * a code review tool where proposed code changes (so-called patches) get discussed and improved. Examples are Wikimedia Git/Gerrit, GitHub, or Sourceforge. Once your proposed patch is good and is merged into the code repository, your code changes will become available to everybody. (You could read more about good practices for code review here.)
 * general places for discussion of the software project and/or for receiving help and support. Those places can be mailing lists or IRC chat channels or wiki pages or other places. The exact places depend on each project. You could also contact specific mentors via "Email this user" on their user pages, but note that "questions asked in private don't help others".

At any point, if you run into problems or need help, please ask. If you want to ask good questions in the right places, we recommend you read the section "Feedback, questions and support".

Choose a software project
This is the recommended way to start. Choose one of the following projects and follow the project's documentation to set up your development environment, choose a task to work on, solve the task, and submit your code changes for review:

''Are you a maintainer and want your project to be included in the list of software projects above? Find out more and join!''

Outreach programs and single tasks
Apart from the recommended software projects above, there are more ways to choose a project or task to work on:

 * Developer hub: Resources to more documentation and information for established Wikimedia developers.
 * For real-time communication use on IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
 * There are also several email lists for discussion of Wikimedia software.
