Wikimedia Engineering/Technology

Mission

 * Expand access. We ensure that access to Wikimedia projects is reliable, global, fast, and secure. We want Wikimedia projects to be available to as many people as possible, on as many devices as possible, in a manner that safeguards users’ privacy and trust.
 * Support progress. We provide tooling and infrastructure that make it possible for developers to enhance and augment the capabilities of Wikimedia software. We create pathways for creative and motivated individuals to translate their ideas into working software that is reliable, easy-to-use, secure, and scalable.
 * Provide counsel. We assist other units within the organization and the movement in making good choices with respect to technology by assessing costs, analyzing usability, anticipating failures, projecting impact, and suggesting alternatives.
