I am pleased to share with you the news about the
formation of the latest team in the Technology department, the MediaWiki Platform
team![1]

I am thrilled that Tim Starling has agreed to lead the team, reporting directly to me. He
will be joined by Brion Vibber, Kunal Mehta and Brad Jorsch. The team officially launches
on Monday April 3, and will complete the hiring and onboarding of additional team members
in the coming months. Their initial workplan will include core support for multi content
revisions for the Structured Data on Commons project and will be discussed in more detail
during the upcoming consultation for the Wikimedia Foundation 2017-2018 annual plan.

I'm really happy to see this happen. I'd like to give my personal
thanks to Victoria for recognizing the need and working to find a way
to form this team. I'd also like to show my appreciation to Tim for
taking on the team lead/manager role in this group.
