Target audience:
Technical volunteers who build tools to help with on-wiki work:
- bots
- web services
- gadgets
- complex templates
- lua modules
- user scripts
- desktop/phone apps for collecting or curating content
- ... things that are needed to make the work of the movement easier/higher quality/possible
What will participants get out of this session? (~50 words)
Folks should leave the session with a general understanding of what gaps Toolhub is hoping to fill for the movement, how to get information about their own tools into the catalog, and where to look for discussion of future features and how to get involved in the project.
