Hello all -
The Developer Outreach team is happy to announce that we will be migrating the Tech Blog <https://techblog.wikimedia.org/> into Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/>. This move will allow us to provide better support and more visibility for the incredible work of the technical community. Diff is the community news and event blog supported by the Movement Communications team <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/Movement_Communications>. Diff sees about 20,000 visits a month and has 1,200 email subscribers. - What will happen to the Tech Blog content? - All Tech Blog posts will be accessible on Diff, clearly tagged with “techblog”. Old links will automatically redirect to their new location. New posts with a technical focus will be tagged with “techblog” so they will be easily discoverable.You'll be able to find all techblog posts – old and new – on the landing page at https://diff.wikimedia.org/techblog - When is this happening? - The migration should be complete in April 2026. - How do I submit a blog post with a technical focus? - For now, please hold your post until we complete the migration. - After the migration is done: As before, talk to your manager about your interest in writing a blog post so they are not surprised when you ask them to approve it once it is written. Then, see the Diff submission process <https://diff.wikimedia.org/editorial-guidelines/> and select the category “Technology” and the tag “techblog” when writing your draft. After you submit, the Developer Outreach team will review your draft. When it’s ready to go, we will schedule your post to be published. We’re excited for the Tech Blog to evolve and thank the Movement Communications <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/Movement_Communications> team for helping us make this possible! -- Lani Goto (they/them) Senior Technical Program Manager
