What's new

 * The Coolest Tool Award 2021 took place, celebrating and awarding Wikimedia software tools in our communities. Watch the ceremony video if you missed it.
 * Toolhub launched on 2021-10-14. Since the initial launch there have been several smaller releases adding new features including the ability to make a personal list of "favorite" tools. The team has also added two new developers since October 2021. The team is currently working on feature additions to enable more collaborative editing of the catalog by the Wikimedia community and collection of new types of information about each tool.
