Hi,
Over the past years, Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes team has been
working on new and improved tools for the diverse communities and users of
the Wikimedia projects. Apart from developing software, we also developed
methods and approaches for building software in a collaborative
environment. We learned lots and wrote the most important parts of it down.
So, if you’re interested in software development that involves a diverse
community, please have a look at our white paper. It is version 1.1 of the
paper we published in December 2018.
You can find it on Meta wiki:

and a PDF version on Wikimedia Commons:

We hope you’ll find our shared learnings helpful. If you have any
questions, please reach out to us on this talk page:

For the Technical Wishes team of Wikimedia Germany
