A first draft of the page is available under my user page on MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:APatro_(WMF)/Getting_Started_With_Translate

Will do some reviews with Niklas before marking this task as done. Additionally noticed that some pages linked from that page need to be updated.

Change 664272 had a related patch set uploaded (by Abijeet Patro; owner: Abijeet Patro):
[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Update README with link to Getting started with development page

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/664272

We've moved the page to: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Getting_started_with_Translate_extension_development

Submitted a patch to add the page to the README for the Translate extension and requested @Amire80 to do a review of the documentation.

Waiting on Amir to provide feedback regarding this task. Another option would be to involve Pita to also help with reviewing the documentation.

My feedback:

The installation guide with Docker and Gerrit was mostly smooth. I just have a couple of little comments about the script, which is supposed to be pasted to the command line:

1. The # character for comments doesn't work perfectly in zsh interactive command line. I don't think it actually breaks anything, but it shows some errors. I have a Mac, and Apple deprecated bash in favor of zsh.
2. I already had most of the extensions that the script is cloning into my extensions directory. I carefully removed these lines, but perhaps it's better to do something more automatic, for example to check that the directories don't exist already.

I've updated the documentation to address the comments left by Amir https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki-Docker%2FExtension%2FTranslate&type=revision&diff=4615639&oldid=4374186

Waiting for one final review from Niklas before I close this.
