Task for the Community Bonding period

• Setup your Blog, Phabricator, GitHub, WikiToLearn account
• Setup your Project page (section above, example here)
• Review your proposal with your mentor
• Make a list of dates (weeks or 2+ days) you might not be available on (because of school exams, holidays, anything) and send it to your mentor.
• Inform upstream about your work during this GSoC
  • They will be happy to hear you are working on improving their work
  • Reaching out ASAP is good practice, so you already have contact if you need their help
• Install a local WikiToLearn instance (more info here)
  • Play with VisualEditor
    • You have to enable it by switching in the correct branch of the repo
    • Try both using it and understanding how it works under the hood (since you will work with it in the summer)
  • Try to update MediaWiki on WikiToLearn to the latest version.

Extra Tips

• Use the communication channels often
  • Use the tech channel for every problem with WTL’s instance
  • Use the WTL editor GSoC group when working on the tasks
  • Use the Mailing List to announce big changes, discuss and gather feedback
• The mentors (and the whole WTL community) are here to help
  • We are your friends
  • Don't be scared to ask us feedback, ideas, help or guidelines on how to proceed!
• If you need a few days to relax, to study, to find inspiration, to go on holiday, we are very much OK with that! But just tell us a few days before :)
