A bit of 'git log' and grepping gets me this non-exhaustive list of folks who have contributed code to wmcs.

Taavi, YiFei, and Andrew have all agreed to help me with this panel so I will be acking the selection with the Wikimania programming committee. I hope I can convince a few more of you folks to join us when we have more concrete information on when and how the event will take place.
We have a time and date in the schedule now! The presentation is scheduled for Friday 2023-08-18 from 02:20 to 03:00 UTC [0] (10:20-11:00 local time in Singapore, 20:20-21:00 the night before for me in UTC-6) in room 311.
I have requested a "Hybrid, live: Some speakers will be onsite in Singapore and some will dial in" delivery for the session. Taavi will be on-site as a member of the panel and the rest of us currently will be joining remotely. I do not yet have details on the remote participation system for presenters, but I imagine that information will be coming the next few weeks.
Andrew, Taavi, and YiFei:
Our Wikimania session is only a week away! I guess that means it is time for me to stop procrastinating and get to work figuring out what we will talk about. ;)
I actually have not been completely slacking this whole time. I asked for folks to submit questions on the fediverse about a week ago [0]. That post got more re-posts than questions, but there are at least a couple of ideas from Sumanah that I think we should respond to.
I started an etherpad [1] with Sumanah's questions and a few others that I have dreamed up. Please take a look and 1) think about how you will answer, and 2) add more questions that you are interested in talking about. We can certainly try to take questions from the audience during the presentation as well, but I think we should try to plan out enough ourselves to make the session worthwhile.
I also learned recently that any slides we will use for the session need to be submitted to the A/V team by this coming Sunday 2023-08-13. I don't think we need many slides, but we should probably have a few things like a title slide, a speakers slide with some info about each of us, and a "learn more" slide about WMCS. I started a deck [2] based on the Wikimania 2023 template and will be work on it Friday/Saturday. If there are specific things you would like to see included in the deck let me know or add them in yourself.
Everyone else:
I would love more help thinking of more questions to ask and answer. If you can make 15 minutes to add a question of your own to the etherpad [1] that would be helpful to everyone. Your question doesn't have to be for the panel generically either. If you have something to ask one of us specifically that is welcome as well.
