Please note: This is an initial draft. Need to answer some more items below over the next days. Filing this task already now for better planning.
A Technical Contributors Map which documents the major audiences of the WMF Technical Engagement team
- What are the things everyone in the project should know?
- Technical contributors contribute to many different technical areas in the Wikimedia movement (location examples: Code repositories located in Wikimedia Git/Gerrit and Github; Tools hosted on Toolforge and on Cloud VPS; templates, modules, user scripts and gadgets hosted on wiki pages). The WMF Technical Engagement team supports these volunteer developers.
