It's great that Wikimedia Foundation have started to care more about
3rd parties!

Today, the Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to
announce that we have
contracted with two long-time members of the MediaWiki community–Mark
Hershberger and Markus Glaser–to manage and drive forward third-party
focused releases of MediaWiki.
Over a month ago, the Wikimedia Foundation sent
out a request for
proposals (RFP) to help us fill an important and underserved role in
the development of MediaWiki. Two very solid proposals were produced,
the community weighed in with questions and comments, and there was an
open IRC office hour with the authors and interested community
members. The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased with the outcome of this
RFP and excited to begin this new chapter in the life of MediaWiki.
Join me in congratulating Mark and Markus!
Greg
