Thread:Talk:Technical communications/Dev wiki consolidation/Where to draw the line/reply

I was also hesitating. Before discussing the outcome let's try to agree on the principle: what is your reasoning to keep API and dev tutorials in mediawiki.org?

If Wikitech is all about OSS contributors and mediawiki.org focuses on MediaWiki users (as in sysadmins and editors) then we can assume that API docs and dev tutorials fit into Wikitech.

It is true though that you can use those for pure 3rd party development ending in proprietary extensions etc. And those 3rd party developers could also be considered "users" of the MediaWiki API. Still, even those developers will benefit from the proximity with the maintainers and core developers at Wikitech... That was the main reason that made me propose it within the scope of Wikitech.

Then again I have no strong opinion, as long as we agree on the principles. Whatever works better for the actual developers. And perhaps most of the problem can be solved with landing pages linking to the right resources in each site. For instance How to contribute is a clear candidate for Wikitech but this doesn't mean that we can't have it also in mediawiki.org, pointing to Wikitech pages.
