| 68 | 2018-10-12 16:42:56 <mukaram> MediaWiki Experience ?? My only experience is during the training program we had with Samuel. Or we took to install media wiki and know more about how it works. We also try to solve bugs with patch submission. What type of experience is it? |
| 69 | 2018-10-12 16:43:33 <mukaram> Oui Oui c'est moi ahipeau |
| 70 | 2018-10-12 16:44:25 <r054l13> d3r1ck: hmm I think you should elaborate more on the requirements for mentorship as you are the GCI admin this year. |
