MediaWiki Group Promotion welcomes all contributors interested in promoting MediaWiki and Wikimedia software and technical activities.
Areas of collaboration:
- Reaching out to new MediaWiki community contributors.
- Growing MediaWiki Groups.
- mediawiki.org homepage and main landing pages.
- Promoting Wikimedia apps.
- Comms, blogs, social media.
- Events organization and participation.
- Materials: slides, basic tutorials, white papers...
- Merchandising.
- Community metrics.
- Collaboration with other free software projects.
- Collaboration with other wiki communities.
- Growing the MediaWiki CMS user base.
This initial charter is wide, but there is a big overlap of people working in these areas. We can spin-off new groups for specialized areas whenever it makes sense to split.
We have got official recognition from the Affiliations Committee for a first period of one year, after which we would become a permanent group.
