Hi,

I recently took an interest in pywikibot and was warmly welcomed on the IRC 
channel, including a guided tour to be oriented. After creating a simple minded 
bot using pywikibot/wikidata, I browsed the pending project issues[1] with a 
focus on those related to wikidata, to give back with a few bug fixes. Some 
were marked as "easy" so I tried and a few were merged after a few days. Much 
to my surprise, I got quick and useful feedback on gerrit, which is a sign of 
vitality, IMHO. That kept me going and I even tried to help with reviews as 
well. Only two/three of the pending reviews had no comments: I did not get 
lucky, almost all proposed patches caught the attention of at least one 
reviewer. Today I addressed comments on my latest bug fix and discovered 
aspects of the Wikibase API which I did not know[2].

I realize this is a subjective view from a newcomer but here it is ;-)

Cheers
