New Developer Documentation
[edit]This is intended as a workspace for roughing out improved documentation for new MediaWiki developers, especially as it relates to the use of Docker for development environments.
This work originated in the first Docker SIG meeting. Subsequent discussion identified How to become a MediaWiki hacker as a useful place to focus some work.
Phabricator task: T217614
Items for inclusion / notes
[edit]- It's hard to know where to ask questions. We should point people at an appropriate (public) IRC channel.
- Mention the Docker SIG / mailing list.
- We should keep in mind the disconnect between README files and wiki pages, and try to strike a healthy balance when possible. It can be problematic when core documentation lives outside of repositories - things get out of sync. At a minimum, we should curate two-way linking between these resources.
