clearly adds emphasis to the fact that MediaWiki is not only underlying
Wikipedia and its sister projects, but is also widely used by thousands
of sites on the internet and therefore a product of the Foundation in
itself. There are a lot of external MediaWiki maintainers have been
longing for clear leadership and a predictable roadmap for MediaWiki as a
software product for quite some time. So this is a big step ahead.
I wish the team a good start and all the best for your work. If there's
anything the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group can do to assist you, let us
know!
There's a forked thread on mediawiki-l. Copying this feature wishlist link
