As a new contributor, i now know these are some steps to follow: (It took a while for me to piece this together) 1. Subscribe to the QA list ([email protected]) 2. Introduce yourself in this QA list with your interests, your time zone, best way to contact you, your nick on freenode etc.There are a lot of people who will help you. 3. Familiarise yourself with test environments at http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org and http://test2.wikipedia.org . Also create accounts on these and play with "preferences" in your account. 4. Create a bugzilla account, as this is how bugs are reported.
In addition to this, i would like to see a list of small bugs that a newcomer could look at and maybe resolve.
