Why are you lost compared to other open source software development?
I would really love to contribute to this organization and help increase my skills.
My skill set is python, C, html, css , php, javascript and a little of java.
XWiki is coded mostly in Java and javascript/html/Css for the front end part.
I have a few questions with regards to xwiki.
1. Does it works like wiki.
It’s a wiki yes. See https://xwiki.org.
2. How can i setup a dev environment for xwiki. I am on MacOS
See https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building/ The trick to find information is to google. If you do you should find plenty of information.
3. I forked this repo https://github.com/muarachmann/xwiki-platform to begin contributions but i am lost
Did you google ‘xwiki contribute’ for ex? If you do, you’ll find https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing And https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Onboarding/ Welcome to the XWiki community! :) Thanks -Vincent

I really don't know but it was difficult for me to walk my way around and build the platform.
I would really love to contribute to this organization and help increase my skills.
