Tuesday 2015-09-01T18:00 UTC [1] (11am San Francisco time) we will be having an IRC office hour [2] about the mw.org API: namespace.

* As Wikimedia adds other APIs such as Wikidata Query Service and RESTBase, the structure and navigation needs to evolve.
* Also, as you may know we are writing pages to encourage third-party developers to use Wikimedia data and APIs, and eventually want this "Web APIs hub" [3] to become the "front door" rather than API:Main_page.

** and presented with a different appearance to new developers [4]

If you have thoughts, opinions, or needs from the API pages, I hope you can attend. The last bullet point is challenging and controversial, so it helps to share ideas and approaches.

The Phab task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110108 links to related tasks. It's also a Phab event https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/E50 and on the internal WMF Engineering calendar.

See you in irc:freenode.net#wikimedia-office
