Indeed, I was very happy to see this new group formed as well. Let me extend the invitation to collaborate with the Onboarding New Developers program [4] (work in progress), where we are looking for featured projects [5] (also WIP) willing to get help from newcomers. Tools are clearly a good entry point for developers approaching Wikimedia with a fresh mind and new ideas. Current tool developers could also benefit more from our developer support and activities. Having a representative group might definitely help.
