Hello Everyone,
We are glad to share that a list of tasks have been curated on the AWMD
work board under the column "Featured Tasks".[1] We encourage you to try
out these tasks in order to get you acquainted with some of these bugs that
one can easily solve. These will also ensure you practice most of the
things we learned and keep you active in the movement.
If you face any difficulties don’t hesitate to contact me on IRC or any
other available medium. The month of July has already began and we will be
spooling monthly statistics of those who are active or solve various tasks
and will be ranked and put on a Leaderboard. This which we intend to remain
a tradition, can wait till see how the leaderboard will look like when we
have so many countries on the list.
Just to motivate the group, the first 2 on the leaderboard will receive a
prize from the team and the 3rd will receive a prize from me :). Let start
hacking people and make MediaWiki and its extensions a better software for
our world of free knowledge.
Have a nice time everyone and let the hacking (officially) begin :)

Hi All,
Its been really exciting on the journey we have started and we are super
glad about the excitement around the project. As stated during the
trainings we have 2 months to show that a community for developers can
exist on the continent or better, have come to stay!
Ghana was a pilot and it showed much prospects, however there are other
African countries ready to take on the challenge. We encourage you to share
the project with your friends from other countries who may be interested
and to members on this mailing list who are from other African countries
and are interested in having a similar event, please put down your
interest here
on this page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/African_Wikimedia_Developers_Project/Request…>
.
We will soon furnish the workboard with featured tasks and we encourage you
to challenge yourselves to these tasks. Ask for help when you are stuck, on
any of the developers channels on IRC or on this mailing list.
Cheers,
