Here's another incomplete round up of activities involving MediaWiki and the surrounding community. Edits and additions are welcome.. By Chris Koerner on 15 November 2017 09:20 (EDT) There has been a flurry of activity in the last few months and I wanted to take a moment to highlight a few events, happenings, and releases for MediaWiki users.

In no particular order are a few items that MediaWiki folks might find interesting. By Chris Koerner on 12 June 2017 16:58 (EDT) This was a long cherished plan for the MediaWiki Stakeholders: curate a track at a MediaWiki Hackathon which entirely focuses on MediaWiki sites and their maintainers.
