Fantastic MediaWikis and How to Maintain Them
A one-day conference track at the Wikimedia Hackathon, designed for people who work with the open source software MediaWiki in their organizations. At the Wikimedia Hackathon 2017, about 200 developers from all over the world will come to Vienna to improve MediaWiki. We are using this opportunity to develop a special program for the software’s stakeholders, maintainers, and power-users. The track is curated by the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group, an organization of advocates for users from outside the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects. Access the global network of developers, get inspired by use cases, and learn new skills!
