Groups/Promotion

MediaWiki Group Marketing welcomes all contributors interested in promoting MediaWiki and Wikimedia software and technical activities.

Areas of collaboration:


 * Reaching out to new MediaWiki community contributors.
 * Growing MediaWiki Groups.
 * mediawiki.org homepage and main landing pages.
 * Promoting Wikimedia apps.
 * Comms, blogs, social media.
 * Events organization and participation.
 * Materials: slides, basic tutorials, white papers...
 * Merchandising.
 * Community metrics.
 * Collaboration with other free software projects.
 * Growing the MediaWiki CMS user base.

This initial charter is wide, but there is a big overlap of people working in these areas. We can spin-off new groups for specialized areas whenever it makes sense to split.
