I have some python knowledge (but I'm not a

would be nice to contribute to this project in my spare time. Any advice on
where/how one could help?
Help is always very welcome. Amir already replied with the more technical
aspect - everyone can submit patches to Gerrit, including you! :-)
Help is welcome on all areas! It really depends on what you're interested
to work on - and what you're interested to learn. Some ideas:
- The conversion of bugs from sourceforge to bugzilla would not teach you a
lot on pywikipedia, but it would be really appreciated :-) The current
source code is available under the 'sf-export' project:
https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/pywikibot%2Fsf-export.git /
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:pywikibot/sf-export,…
For more details on what still needs to be done, please check
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Migrating_to_bugzilla or
ask Legoktm (Kunal Mehta) - legoktm(a)gmail.com
- To get to know Gerrit, consider moving a few patches from
http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/patches/ to Gerrit.
Some bugs in trunk that might be interesting:
-
https://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1482/ (archivebot.py)
-
https://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1633/ ('no handlers could
be found' error - this error should probably be suppressed.)
Apart from that, any improvements in documentation (both the documentation
in code and the documentation on-line) are always very welcome.
