Hello everybody,

we are pleased to announce that Wikifunctions is up and running at http://www.wikifunctions.org/

After a few days in read-only, the website now has some limited functionality for you to try out. Thank you to everyone who helped deploy our first new Wikimedia project in over 12 years!

All logged-in users are able to create and edit talk pages, project pages, help pages, call functions, etc. Only contributors with a special role will be able to edit Objects in Wikifunctions (i.e. creating and maintaining Functions, Tests, Implementations, etc.), for the first few weeks.

We set up a page on Wikifunctions where contributors can request this role [1] - this will be assigned slowly at first, and ramped-up soon after, if all goes well. The reason for this gradual roll-out is to decrease the chance that things break too badly.

There are introductory details about the project in our latest Newsletter, also available on the Diff blog:

* https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/08/07/wikifunctions-is-starting-up/ 

Please be aware that there might be minor and major bugs and/or missing documentation, so please join the Project chat page to let us know about any problems you find.

If you'd like to help, we are particularly looking for people who can help with translations on translatewiki.net. [2] That would be awesome!

Enjoy editing!
