Thanks, Brigit, for this hub, it is great to have it!
I have tried and
can't find any way to look for tools that are not nominated as "Coolest
Tool Award" besides looking for name. Is there a way for searching by
categories?
Today you can try searching for various keywords to find tools in the
catalog (i.e. "Wikidata", "image", "editor",
"template" ...). We're
interested in adding support for the community to organize tools in
categories/based on use cases in the future. There are some notes from past
Design Research on that in the Data Model documentation. [0]
Please feel welcome to comment on the talk page if you have further
questions or ideas! [1]

*Subject:* [Wikimedia-l] Toolhub 1.0 is launched! Discover software tools
used at Wikimedia
Hi All,
We are happy to announce the launch of Toolhub
<https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/> – a community-authored catalogue that
aims to make software tools
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub#What_is_a_%22tool%22?> used in
the Wikimedia movement discoverable to everyone.
Community developed tools – including web applications, bots, gadgets,
user scripts, lua modules, and more – play a significant role in the
Wikimedia projects. These software applications address a wide range of use
cases including finding bad faith edits and other content curation, bulk
editing, collecting statistical information, creating special citations,
and much more. About ⅓ of all edits are made by bots and tools. In
addition, semi-automated edits are helped by user scripts, gadgets, and
other editing assistance tools that run from the user's local computer or
directly inside the wikis. There are thousands of tools available, but how
can you find them?
With Toolhub, you can document and find tools
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub>, promote their use in your wiki
community, and help improve them by contributing data. You can create and
share lists of tools relevant to your work - for example, for GLAM tools,
or for wiki projects such as Women in Red.
This first release provides a core set of functionalities
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Roadmap>, and contains an
initial data set of about 1500 tools. Most of the initial tools in the
catalog are imported from the same data files developers have created for Hay's
Directory <https://hay.toolforge.org/directory/> which has been a major
inspiration for Toolhub.
Toolhub serves developers and users of tools alike. It is part of our
efforts to improve the infrastructure and services for technical
contributors, captured under one of Technology’s top level objectives in
the FY 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 annual plans: Tech Community Building
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/ERF_OKR:_Tech_Community_Building>.
We hope to continue conversations with developers and users of tools, plan
to improve Toolhub, and to further expand the functionality.
A collaborative system and open developer platform
Toolhub is built as an API driven platform that makes it possible to
extend and remix the catalogue, and to make collecting and reusing
information about tools as open and collaborative as we can. Everything
that can be done interactively with the Toolhub website can also be done
remotely through the API. We would love to hear from technical
contributors interested in using the Toolhub API
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toolhub#API-use> to build new tools
that make new ways to add or consume information from Toolhub's catalog.
Our decision record
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Decision_record> and weekly
progress reports
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Progress_reports> on Meta
provide more insights in technical implementation details and decisions
made throughout the development process. The Toolhub/About page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/About> provides information on
project origin, research, use cases, data model, and roadmap. This recording
from a lightning talk at ‘21 Wikimania
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2hNm7bKjDo> gives an overview of the
main aspects in 10 minutes.
Thank you <3
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the support, knowledge,
ideas and prior work of many. One of the nicest side-effects of a release
is that it’s a great opportunity to thank folks for their time and
contributions :-)
