The Wikimedia Technical Community Newsletter shares highlights and news from the past quarter and information about events coming up in the next quarter.

What's new

[edit]
  • Join our Toolforge UI Community Feedback Session on April 15th! Members of the Toolforge community are invited to a consultation session to introduce Toolforge UI (aka Toolsadmin 2.0) — an initiative to provide a graphical interface to simplify the creation and management of tools. Join us during the next Toolforge Monthly Meeting on April 15th to learn more about the project’s goals and explore an early design prototype. Whether you're an experienced tool maintainer or simply curious, your insights will help us build a user interface that truly supports the community’s needs. You can find the meeting's schedule and agenda on the Monthly Meeting’s Wikitech page.
