The first reference to the WMF project that I can find in a quick search
seems to be https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=778814 on
2013-09-09. Announcement of the people assigned to the project (I am aware
of no new hires for the project, BTW) includes
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=816026 on 2013-11-08.
