Re: [Wikidata-tech] New technical writer for Wikibase/Wikidata

Hi all! I’m Dan Shick ( https://w.wiki/RDs ), the new technical writer at Wikimedia Deutschland. My goals are to discover, improve, unify and round out documentation for the Wikibase & Wikidata development team; my specific duties are defined by my team leadership and the leadership of both products. I see a lot of documentation out there, and it needs organizing so that people of every audience can find the information they’re looking for. Audiences include volunteers & the community, employees of Wikimedia Deutschland and independent users of the products, and I see plenty of overlap between those groups. Perhaps most importantly, if the documentation someone needs doesn’t exist, I want to see it get written. My first task is to collect and improve the Wikibase post-install documentation. I have a lot of resources already on the table, but of course I welcome pointers to and feedback on any and all existing documentation. You'll find this text on my wiki page as well; if you want to say hi or have any questions or comments, feel free to shoot me an email or speak up on my talk page.
