Here is an opportunity for newbie developers to get involved with Mediawiki development. As mentioned in the below mail, a bug triage meeting is planned on the wikimedia-dev IRC channel. The focus is on internationalization bugs, and bugs are classified as simple, hard etc.
Refer the below mail for details. -Santhosh ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Internationalisation bug triage -- newbie devs wanted! From: "Siebrand Mazeland" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, September 13, 2011 1:51 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What: internationalisation triage bug triage When: Wednesday, September 14, 13:00UTC Time zone conversion: http://hexm.de/73 Where: #wikimedia-dev on freenode Use http://webchat.freenode.net/ if you don't have an IRC client As Mark Hershberger is busy preparing the MediaWiki 1.18 release, Niklas and I spent time yesterday to prepare an i18n triage for Wednesday. The following bugs will be discussed. I would specifically call for any newbie developers to come to this triage because we have selected a bunch of relatively easy issues you may be able to help with to familiarize yourself with the MediaWiki localistion code and submit a patch for. Please forward this e-mail to anyone who may be interested. The triage will have two sections. == Message documentation and message related coding == https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16026 -- MediaWiki:Revision-info should accept wikimarkup https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16111 -- MediaWiki:Cascadeprotected and MediaWiki:Cascadedprotectedwarning should take the same parameters https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16175 -- Clean up the rendering of messages displayed at the top of the edit window https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17148 -- The warning about editing a semi-protected page can display an irrelevant edit summary https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17865 -- Mismatched input syntax for Cite error messages https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28557 -- Message documentation for Extension:AddMediaWizard needed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25608 -- MediaWiki:Fundraiserstats-tab-ytd should not contain (USD) https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29357 -- CategoryTree should have built-in localizable support for pretty Categorytree-member-num https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29927 -- CentralAuth using wrong Language on Special:MergeAccount https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30729 -- Not all numbers are localised in AbuseFilter https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29170 -- [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] needs GENDER support == Harder issues and discussion == https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28428 -- Allow saving pages with LRM and RLM in titles, showing a warning and requiring a user right https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28411 -- titles of articles with LTR titles in RTL wikis may be displayed incorrectly in categories and special pages Discusion: Should we implement proper i18n support for named message parameters?
