The [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Conference/2019 | 2019 technical conference in Atlanta ]] has a **vision statement**:
//Becoming the essential infrastructure of Free Knowledge requires a diverse and equitable technical contributor community (staff and volunteers alike). To reduce barriers to entry and to enable faster and easier development, we must provide a modern and complete engineering productivity ecosystem. Everything from code-review and code health, to local development and testing, from proof of concept creation to production deployment and monitoring.//
