Hello everyone,
We recently installed a tutorial for the Wikidata Query Service
<https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/> (WDQS) on Toolforge.
This is the first time Wikimedia Israel developed an instructional tool in
English for the use of the whole Wikmedia community and beyond - as opposed
to our other tools that were aimed for the Hebrew or Arabic speaking
communities. As such, it is also the first time we are hosting a tool on
Toolforge.
All our other tools (mostly Wordpress sites, like the one on Toolforge) are
hosted in Israel at a commercial hosting service, and maintenance (Wordpress
update and security) is done by a commercial company. However, I am not
sure this company would provide maintenance for the WDQS tutorial given
that access to Toolforge requires a Wikimedia developer account, a Wikitech
account, SSH access - not the kind of things commercial services are keen
to get into...
I was wondering if any of you have some on what we could do to ensure the
WDQS tutorial is kept up-to-date and secure.
I believe maintenance would take up to 2-3 hours per month - this is not a
huge undertaking, but at our organization we do not have anyone in-house
who is savvy enough to do it.
Do you know or can suggest someone who knows how to maintain a Wordpress
site AND is familiar with the Toolforge? Are you this someone?!? Or maybe
you know someone that might know someone?
Any input regarding this issue would be much appreciated.
Cheers and stay safe,
