Yes, I know, but put yourself in the feet of a skilled and goodwilling
sysadmin landing at mediawiki.org and willing to contribute. If there is
a "Sysadmin Hub" promoted in the homepage and pushed in the search
resultst then that is probably the page s/he will visit sooner or later.
Either we improve that page to include relevant links to sysadmins
willing to contribute, or we create a different landing page, or...
Re Labs and opportunities to contribute
Thank you for the update on labs and the current (little) chances to get
involved in Wikimedia sysadmin tasks.
However, is that really all? Is there anything a sysadmin could help
with at https://toolserver.org/ , the many bots, products / components
in bugzilla, support to other MediaWiki syadmins?
I'm just a very basic hobbyist sysadmin for my MediaWiki pet project [1]
so I can't hardly put myself in the skin of a proper sysadmin willing to
volunteer. But there must be something this kind of profile can do to
get involved in MediaWiki - Wikimedia tech? Now all we seem to have are
Wikimedia manual pages.
PS: but ok, I will put this task back to my backlog until Labs and the
whole idea of sysadmin contributors is more mature. In the meantime your
feedback and help is welcome in this thread or

Thank you!
