Hello all,

Small Wiki Toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki communities by sharing and developing technical skills needed to support, maintain, and grow a language wiki. You can learn more about it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits

As a next step for this initiative, we would like to share with you some ideas on how you can be a part of this:

- Contribute to a Starter kit https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242545 by proposing or helping develop and write recommendations for technical topics in simple English. - Develop toolkits using the recommendations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Develop_toolkits on the SWT page. You can see existing toolkits in the Category:Small_wiki_toolkits https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Small_wiki_toolkits on Wikimedia Commons. - Learn technical topics using the resources https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Toolkits on the SWT page and apply the skills gained to provide technical support to a small wiki community. - Translate resources such as the SWT page itself and tutorials on technical topics linked from it. - Provide technical support https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Ask_your_technical_questions on the support desk on mediawiki.org, mailing lists, etc. - Organize a technical workshop or a session to help a small wiki community.

If you want to help with any of the above or there is anything else you would like to share around building local capacity in a small wiki, please start a discussion on the talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Small_wiki_toolkits and/or add your name to the list of interested members https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Members_list.

Cheers, The Small Wiki Toolkits Initiative
