Hi Nishant & welcome to the DBpedia community.
The idea you chose is very interesting and needed in order to move DBpedia
forward.
One thing that you should know is that you will have to work with Scala
code (and maybe a little Java) so one of your main tasks is to get familiar
with Scala. [1]
Before you do you might also want to try out the extraction framework.
Download and extract a few languages and get familiar with the options and
the output data [2]
Try to create a few more tests for the existing tests we have in the code
(e.g. datetime extraction in your language [3]) and submit them with a pull
request [4]
IntelliJ [5] might help in this regard.
Documentation sometimes might not be perfect [6] ;) so if you get stuck
somewhere, please ask us. And if you find something missing in the docs,
feel free to add it.
Best,
Dimitris
