The org-specific pages are on wikimediafoundation (staff pages, job postings etc). > For engineering departments, it is less clear, but since the entire > "department" structure is an artifact of the WMF, and not of the mediawiki > software, my gut reaction would be the same. Remember which came first. It wasn't the Foundation. ;) > Technical pages (such as CirrusSearch) make sense to be on mediawiki.org. > > Are there historical or cultural reasons to keep the team pages on > mediawiki.org? For me, mostly due to keeping things in one[0] place. It's easier mentally to keep team pages and project pages (where project pages are more sensibly on mw.org) together since our teams are heavily technical/based on MediaWiki development. Also, it is cultural because if we put a lot of stuff on the foundation wiki then we explicitly divide ourselves and our projects from the rest of the community. This is not a long term positive step to take :) Greg [0] Yes, we also have some technical documentation on wikitech wiki, but that is mostly due to 2 reasons. 1) a controlled wiki for the management of WMF Labs users and 2) a separate wiki (hosted on different hardware) that will not inherently go down if the rest of the wikis go down. -- | Greg Grossmeier GPG: B2FA 27B1 F7EB D327 6B8E | | identi.ca: @greg A18D 1138 8E47 FAC8 1C7D | _______________________________________________ teampractices mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/teampractices
