Wikimedia Foundation contractors
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This page is outdated, but if it were updated, it might still be useful. Please help by correcting, augmenting and revising the text into an up-to-date form.
This page lists Wikimedia Foundation contractors.
A few ground rules for listing a person here:
- "contractor" is used loosely here and isn't meant to be derogatory;
- use reasonable clues to try to determine whether or not someone is being contracted by the Wikimedia Foundation and include references as necessary; a wikimedia.org e-mail address, mailing list announcements and blog posts are all good clues; in addition, there is an official microblogging feed,
wikimediaatwork, on Identi.ca and on Twitter to communicate about these positions; - do not add people listed at wmf:Staff, wmf:Board of Trustees, or wmf:Advisory Board;
- use ISO 8601 date format;
- if you are adding yourself, consider making sure that the "Enable e-mail from other users" option is enabled in your preferences;
- previous contractors are not removed in general, but the
Endeddate parameter is added; - be bold in updating this page!
