Hi everyone! I think that there are two categories of developers now: 1) Wikimedia developers deal with Wikimedia tasks of running Wikipedia and all other projects 2) Independent developers which use MediaWiki for their needs. I think that not much of us even know that wikitech website exist. :)
IMO stuff related to inner projects of Wikimedia foundation should be located on wikitech. Manuals that are related to MediaWiki as a software and its extensions should live on MediaWiki.org. No Wikimedia-specific materials here. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 4:45 PM, Quim Gil <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been drafting a proposal to attract new contributors, help them > settle in, and connect them to interesting tasks.
