​Hey Mark,

You might have missed the links from earlier in the thread:

But also sounds like it's the absolute end of the line for development
work, cf. mediawiki.org.

I'll say from personal experience that when I find a website that links
to a "developers" resource, and that resource is all about APIs and data,
I ragequit the browser tab because the software is clearly not modifiable,
they just want people to play with the toys they've allowed.

This is pretty well illustrated by the list of external examples.

Is there any discussion of the name of the portal?

Seems so; related links:

Thanks for the reply at . The more we can
push back against creating further unsustainable micro-sites such as
transparency.wikimedia.org, the better, as far as I'm concerned. We
already have a publishing platform that we can and should leverage and it
lives at www.mediawiki.org or wikitech.wikimedia.org or meta.wikimedia.org.

As discussed at ,
we can set up a cutesy URL similar to .

This is now at [[dev.wikimedia.org]]? That sounds like a much better
name than "build", which I thought was going to be some CI automated
builds server from your email title :)

[Wikitech-l] build.wikimedia.org

[Quim Gil]

(This is the project formerly known as Wikimedia Data & Developer Hub)

build.wikimedia.org aims to become a hub for developers and researchers
interested in Wikimedia data and the APIs to interact with it.

Wikimedia has developed a number of repositories of free and open datasets,
and has made its APIs freely available. However, these APIs and their
documentation are currently scattered across several projects, with no
central location for people to learn about and build upon them.

Let's fix this problem! Wikimedia has so much to offer.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/build.wikimedia.org

http://fab.wmflabs.org/project/board/60/

Currently we are developing a prototype.[1] We are still discussing the
technologies to be used in the final implementation,[2] including the
specific use of MediaWiki. Your ideas and help are welcome.
