The Wikispeech project is moving forward towards an eventual deployment into the beta cluster and then Wikimedia's production network. Navigating this process is not a straight forward exercise and has caused problems in the past for affiliate organizations (for example the MediaWiki-extensions-GWToolset rollout).

@bd808 will be working with the Wikispeech team to try and help them work through some of the roadblocks. As a by-product he will be trying to produce some high level documentation about the process and considerations that need to be addressed when producing a new software component that will be used by Wikipedia's scale of anonymous traffic. The hope is that these documents will be useful in the future for organizations and individuals who are in the early planning stages of a project that will eventually be used on the main Wikimedia project wikis.
