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. Let's talk!

It's really awesome for me personally to see communities like this
form on their own. I'd like to extend an invitation to the new group
to collaborate with the Cloud Services team [2] and the Tool Labs
standards committee [3] in their program work. Efforts to make it
easier for people to develop, maintain, and publicize technical
contributions to the Wikimedia movement are important work for our
collective future.
