Notes from meeting with Maria & James today:

• Good idea to maintain a shared identity around our resources when it comes to portals. We could use existing or new templates of the Wikimedia resource center for the design of landing page for new developers
• Whenever we are done, we contribute the landing page link to Wikimedia Resource Center
• Documentation about the templates as shared by James is below:

The module that renders the pages themselves is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Wikimedia_Resource_Center – including both a documentation page and function-level documentation.

• The contents of the WRC are stored in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Wikimedia_Resource_Center/Content and there is documentation describing how to make edits, including an explanation of the difference between this and template syntax. (The syntax of Lua tables is not far off from the syntax of infoboxes.)
• The gadget has function-level documentation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-wrcEditor.js. I imagine it would be helpful if I also included high-level documentation explaining how it worked as a whole.
• The template for the individual boxes is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_Resource_Center_listing/doc.
• The navigation template is documented here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_Resource_Center_navigation/doc. Really that template is just a shell for...
• The portal navigation template https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Portal_navigation

Blocked on T169790: Make portable/generic version of WRC gadget/module code I'd say, if this is/was still wanted but currently this looks like different usecases to me.

Under m:WRC/For_developers#Software_Basics , I

• edited the description of the "mw:How to become a MediaWiki hacker" box and
• added a "mw:New Developers" box.
• did not touch m:WRC/For_developers#Technical_Infrastructure linking to "mw:Developer hub"

We should likely distinguish the differences / remove items once T169599 has more progress as "more links" is not a solution but for the time being it's an improvement.
