Onboarding Process At Wikimedia
Hi Wikitech,

I have over 5 years of professional experience as a software developer, I
would like to join this awesome team and make meaningful contributions . I
have made progress as far as following the participate instructions
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker> goes, I
have the code setup locally and would love some help in using phabricator
and making and pushing changes to the codebase.

Is there someone who has experience and is willing to mentor me into doing
this? I would highly appreciate and cannot wait to be part of the team.

Kind regards.

Newton

I'd recommend taking a look at https://developer.wikimedia.org/ which
for example links to the Gerrit tutorial (code review tool).

The Phabricator help page includes tutorial videos:
