Developer Advocacy/pl

The Developer Advocacy team is a sub team of the Technical Engagement team. The Developer Advocacy team supports the technical communities who use Wikimedia web APIs and software projects to spread and improve free knowledge. They collaborate with teams in the Wikimedia Foundation, the larger Wikimedia movement, and external organizations to promote the use of the Wikimedia platforms via documentation, sample code, libraries, articles, and reference applications. The team also supports programs to actively recruit and mentor new technical contributors who will become the next generation of Wikimedia Foundation staff and FLOSS project maintainers. Our primary focus is to help the developer community build and scale successful projects using Wikimedia technology. We encourage them to contribute to our free and open source projects as a way to achieve their own goals.

To contact us, see #Team below. Obszary These are regular tasks that usually don't make it to our goals or backlogs explicitly, but take a significant portion of our time and attention. Everywhere (within reason) Help newcomers with technical questions, reporting their first bugs, or looking for first tasks to contribute. Task management Scan new tasks in Phabricator , bringing them into good shape and looking for potential issues that need escalation. Triage old tasks in order to push forward bugs or feature requests that require higher attention, or resolving obsolete reports. Oversee the creation and renaming of new projects. For a more detailed description of workflows, see Bugwrangler . Wydarzenia Organization of online and in-person events for hacking, training, and promoting new technologies. Find ways to make events accessible to all participants. Dokumentacja Coordination of entry-level and mid-level documentation with a focus on documentation for volunteer contributors that encourages developers to use Wikimedia data and APIs. More info at Documentation. Tech Blog See Wikimedia technical blog editorial guidelines. Outreach programs Coordinate Wikimedia's participation in Outreach programs (Google Summer of Code , Outreachy , Season of Docs , etc.) to bring in new contributors to our technical projects and introduce them to free and open source software. Technical Community Metrics Maintain https://wikimedia.biterg.io which offers some statistics about Wikimedia's technical community. Zobacz Community metrics .

Planowanie You can follow our work and get involved. Contributors of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome! We mainly use Phabricator for planning work. You can find our workboard at phab:tag/developer-advocacy/. Every significant task that doesn't belong to a regular workflow needs to have its own Phabricator task associated to the team project. Our Phabricator workboard columns have the following meaning: To Triage: New tasks are placed automatically in this column. Then we move them to the column that seems more appropriate. Such moving can be done by anyone in the team. If the task does not seem trivial, it is to be brought up in our team meeting as a routine. Ignore the "Priority" value of a task in this column, as it might be the Priority of another team. Backlog: We have looked at tasks in this column. Tasks here could be assigned to a team member but we rather want to avoid cookie licking. If it is likely that we soon want to work on a task, we might give that task a higher priority or even move it to a quarterly column. Team radar: Tasks that are interesting to us but we do not work on and do not drive these tasks. Hence we do not close these tasks but only remove our team project tag if at all. Quarterly: Tasks we plan to work on in this quarter. Tasks should have an assignee. Quarterly goals See the corresponding entries on Wikimedia Technology/Annual Plans for goals since July 2021. For historical goals, see the "Technical Engagement" section in the corresponding quarter linked on Wikimedia Technology/Goals before July 2021, and #Historical data below. Also see the corresponding quarterly columns on the Phabricator team workboard.
