About this repository
This page and its subpages began with the System Architecture Team at the Wikimedia Foundation. The goals of the team and repository were:


 * Mature the architecture practice at WMF: Establish and improve architectural practice throughout the Wikimedia Foundation by providing modeling support, educational workshops, and process design.


 * Evolve the Wikimedia system architecture: Plan and design for the future of Wikimedia systems. Bring architectural thinking into the strategy development process, noting potential architectural consequences of strategic initiatives and pointing out strategic opportunities related to architectural choices.

While the Systems Architecture team has been dissolved, this repository remains a source of analyses, systemic thinking, and discussion about the evolution of Wikimedia technical systems.
