Management continues to review options to determine the direction this activity will follow in future months. In the meantime, Guillaume Paumier is going to consolidate a technical glossary and technical FAQs to facilitate communication between editors and the technical community.

Guillaume Paumier started to clean up and expand the Wikimedia glossary on meta-wiki by adding many terms related to Wikimedia technology and engineering. He's now in the process of adding definitions (himself and with the help of others) and further expanding the terms that may need explaining. Sumana Harihareswara is looking to recruit volunteers to lead or advise on select engineering activities. Together with Guillaume, they're also looking at longer term experiments and strategies to improve dialogue between technical communities and user communities.
