Hello Everyone!
I want to contribute with Wikimedia this year under GSoC 2019.

Hello everyone, I'd Like to contribute to this project as a part of GSoC 2019.

This project really looks interesting.

Please how can I set it up on my local machine, I'm using an Ubuntu 16.04 os

@Prosper You can read this page to set up MediaWiki on Xampp and then install Cargo

@priyanshu_varshney thanks alot

Hello, everyone! I am Alisha and I am certainly looking forward to contribute to WikiMedia. I am an aspired GSoC2019 aspirant and looking forward to having good mentorship and guidance and would like to contribute to this project. I have almost completed the setup of Cargo locally in my computer as asked. But I am facing some warning and certainly not sure if I am done with the proper setup. I am looking foward to get some tasks @Yaron_Koren. Thanks

🙂 @priyanshu_varshney thanks for those links, they have been helpful as I'm almost done setting up my development environment.

I currently have an issue with logging into phabricator on my PC(I'm currently logged in with my Android device).

My first login to phabricator was with my Android phone and was done using the OAuth API connected to my mediawiki account. But then, I tried logging in with my PC but the OAuth Login method is prompting me to register instead of login into my already registered account. Each time I try registering with my email (used already for my initial login) I get an error message: (duplicate) "user with email already exists", I understand this totally.

But I'm confused as to why it does not give me an explicit button for logging in but keeps prompting me to register.

I'd appreciate any answer to help me solve this.

Thank you 🙂

I finally resolved my phabricator login issue.

I downloaded google chrome(my mobile device browser) on my PC(as i was using the firefox browser previously) and my login sync automatically.

Quick request to everyone: Please do not post general development environment issues or questions about Phabricator itself in this task, as that's unrelated to the very topic of this task. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Feedback,_questions_and_support - thanks a lot!

Ok, Noted.

I'm sorry for making the mistake initially.

I found the MediaWiki Developers Support helpful

I'm done with my MediaWiki installation and i'm setting up Cargo Extension on my wiki:

I included the following variables to my LocalSettings.php file:
$wgCargoDBtype
$wgCargoDBserver
$wgCargoDBname
$wgCargoDBuser
$wgCargoDBpassword

defined with the appropriate values and DataBase user and Password tailored to my wiki. Then I ran the php update.php command within the maintenance directory again. The New Database was not created.

Please Is my approach wrong?

@Prosper - again, this isn't the place for these kinds of questions. But to answer your question: you don't need to set any of those values, because you don't need a separate Cargo database. But if you do want a separate Cargo database, you have to create it yourself; the code won't create it for you.

Wow 😣😣

I'm really sorry, I really thought I could ask here since it relates to the Cargo extension.

I really appreciate the response @Yaron_Koren

Hi I am interested in contributing to this for GSOC 2019. I already have developed an extension before (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ChangeUserPasswords)
Therefore I have the right skillsets for this.
Assigning myself the microtasks :)

Looking forward to some really great work!

Is there anything remaining in this task from GSoC'19? If not, then please consider marking it as resolved! If yes, and would need another GSoC or volunteer help then consider creating a new task with the leftover items. Thanks!
