Hello everyone,
My name is Mercy Akinkuotu, I am a student from a tertiary university in Nigeria. I started editing Wikipedia pages late last year. During this period i learnt a lot of things about wikimedia, I got to know about Outreachy and GSoC. I contacted Teke Noelle, she was so helpful, she mention joining Africa Wikimedia Developers.
I just finished my Student industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES)(July- Dec 2017),where i worked with CakePHP, JavaScript and Bootstrap.Although I learnt a lot during this period but i can't particularly say i learnt enough.
I am still in the process of becoming a developer but i NEED HELP! I plan on participating in GSoC 2018 /Outreachy round 16. I am planning on working on the Cargo Extension.I have install mediawiki,Cargo and ReplaceText Extensions. I am still study the flow of the project altogether but it is looking like a foreign language, i really need HELP with it.
Also i would love to join the mailing list, i tried but i keep getting "You must GET the form before submitting it.".
I look forward to learning more, gaining more experience and contributing to opensource. Thanks
P.S: Please don't mind my long epistle,Thank you, Merci beaucuop.
