Hi WIKIMEDIA,
I'm writing to express my interest in contributing to your organization.
I'm impressed by the work that you do and would like to know how I can get
started. Can you please provide me with more information about how to
become a
contributor joining your team? What are the requirements that I need to
meet? Are there any steps I need to take to get started? Thank you in
advance for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Best regards,
Vaishnavi Maheshwari

Hey! actually I am finding it a bit difficult to solve issues and make pull
requests. so just wanted to ask if wikimedia has a system of providing
personal mentors? It will be helpful and from whom I can ask questions in
general?

Hey Vaishnavi

Is there any particular issue/project you have in mind? A few projects do
offer mentorship and are more new-comer friendly. You can find them here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers#Choose_a_software_project>.

Good luck!

Hey! I am trying to understand wikimedia codebase but I am not able to
grasp things properly. Can someone tell which will be the best project to
work on if my techstack include js react and python....but I am not too
good at any one of these languages. So as a newbie in which project should
I contribute now?
