Purpose
The Wikimedia Tech Blog is intended to provide a supportive, well-indexed venue for members of the technical community to share posts focused around more complex technical topics associated with Wikimedia/the Open Source Software community.
Coverage
Technical topics relevant to the Wikimedia technical community, open-source, general software development, tooling, and technology. The blog will cover technical aspects of the work the WMF technology, product teams, and members of the technical community are doing.
The blog will cover topics that intersect with members of the Wikimedia Movement who are interested in the technical aspects of the projects. They may be building tools, creating or following software processes, engaging in project management, interested in specific data points, etc.
Blog posts will be written by members of the technical community (defined broadly).
