It also gives a shout out to a very small number of the
Toolforge tools and Cloud VPS projects that the Wikimedia technical community make. I wish I could have named them all, but there are just too many!
As a member of the blog/comms team, we would love to highlight more of the Toolforge tools/Cloud VPS projects.
We've been talking about featuring a "Tool of the Month" on the Wikipedia blog, both to get to know the tool and its creator.
We're also very interested in humanizing and categorizing tools for end users. For example:
"Tools used on Enwiki" "Tools that wikidata loves" "Tools to use if you're a photographer."
etc.
Would anyone be interested in helping with these efforts? We did something similar at my previous job [1] and many people found the tools and used them based on surfacing them based on these categories.

The post talks a bit about why we formed the Wikimedia Cloud Services team and what the purpose of the product rebranding we have been working on is. It also gives a shout out to a very small number of the Toolforge tools and Cloud VPS projects that the Wikimedia technical community make. I wish I could have named them all, but there are just too many!
