Goals
The MediaWiki community is participating in this initiative because we aim to:


 * Make strong connections with a few talented people who will stick around
 * Encourage people to work on testing, design, documentation, marketing, and other areas as well as code
 * Increase the number and proportion of women in an open source community
 * Promote age diversity as well
 * Follow broader charters with interns and flex to accommodate their interests and abilities
