Thanks to Arthur, Andrew, Ryan Lane, &c. for getting to this question before me! :-) Andrew, could you give a link to your "old presentation about MediaWiki itself" even though "it's a bit nitty-gritty"?
Thanks, Ryan Kaldari, for doing this intro. We attempt to amass slidesets on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Presentations . And I try to link all the stuff you'll need at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker . If you're running an event you may want to check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Volunteer_coordination_and_outreach/Event_planning for a quick checklist. OpenHatch is also rather a gold mine. I recommend to your attention these hands-on workshop syllabi, in addition to the extension-writing tutorial that Arthur wrote: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen/Training for customizing any wiki via Javascript user scripts & Gadgets * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation/Tutorial for using and improving our localisation tools * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial for using our web API and integrating Wikimedia content into one's app of choice * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile/PhoneGap/Tutorial for building the Wikipedia Android app And three leaflets: * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_flyer_2012.svg * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_flyer_student2012.svg * https://google-summer-of-code.googlecode.com/files/GSoC2012Flyer.pdf Ryan, if you can arrange to get a recording of your talk, that would be lovely.
