Guillaume Paumier revived this project and focused on summary pages and versions & phases for Wikimedia-funded engineering projects. The goal is to make it easier to find this information and keep it up-to-date, for the benefit of staff, volunteer developers and users.

Guillaume Paumier set up a set of pages, templates and tools to facilitate the maintenance of project pages. The new system allows to pull project information from one central place per project, using the Labeled Section Transclusion extension, which was installed on mediawiki.org for this purpose. The Berlin meetup will be an opportunity to update the documentation of Wikimedia engineering projects using these tools.

The Berlin Hackathon and Wikimedia tech days were an opportunity to start catching up on missing project pages. Stubs were created using the new, lighter format, and some existing pages were transitioned to the new format. As new projects start, we'll continue to try and be diligent in publishing project documentation publicly.
