If there is a "Sysadmin Hub" promoted in the homepage and pushed in the search resultst then that is probably the page s/he will visit sooner or later. Either we improve that page to include relevant links to sysadmins willing to contribute, or we create a different landing page, or... Re Labs and opportunities to contribute Thank you for the update on labs and the current (little) chances to get involved in Wikimedia sysadmin tasks. However, is that really all? Is there anything a sysadmin could help with at https://toolserver.org/ , the many bots, products / components in bugzilla, support to other MediaWiki syadmins? I'm just a very basic hobbyist sysadmin for my MediaWiki pet project [1] so I can't hardly put myself in the skin of a proper sysadmin willing to volunteer. But there must be something this kind of profile can do to get involved in MediaWiki - Wikimedia tech? Now all we seem to have are Wikimedia manual pages. PS: but ok, I will put this task back to my backlog until Labs and the whole idea of sysadmin contributors is more mature. In the meantime your feedback and help is welcome in this thread or https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Sysadmin_hub https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:How_to_contribute Thank you!
