Web APIs hub

Since the mission of Wikimedia Foundation is to collect, develop and disseminate free knowledge, the foundation projects have various repositories of public data and its APIs available. These APIs and the documentation for them are currently scattered all across several projects and there is currently no central location where people can learn about, access and get inspired to use and build with these available datasets. The goal of this project are as follows:
 * 1) To inspire developers everywhere to build new things using data available from Wikimedia projects.
 * 2) To have a showcase of projects built using data from Wikimedia projects.
 * 3) To be the central resource where developers can find a way to  contribute to  Wikimedia projects and build new things on top of the Wikimedia data.
 * 4) To be a friendly and inviting sandbox environment where new and experienced developers can try out different Wikimedia APIs.
