A new wiki page is born:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Upstream_projects
Please help listing the right projects, adding their contacts and links. The idea is to get a clear picture of the upstream projects we rely on, and also of the people in our community that know best about them.
The page has three sections that correspond to different types of upstream:
* projects we develop that we want others to use and contribute to (e.g. MediaWiki) * projects others develop and we embed in our architecture (e.g. Elasticsearch) * projects others develop and we embed in our processes (e.g. Jenkins)
These projects define our location in the free software map. The health of our projects depends on their own health, and also on the health of our common links.
Currently we rely in the knowledge and contacts of official and unofficial maintainers of these tools, who are frequently members of these upstream communities by their own initiative. If you are one of them, you probably see the usefulness of documenting these links.
