Hello Wikimedians,

We are proud to announce the release of the second version of the WikiContrib tool: https://wikicontrib.toolforge.org/.

WikiContrib is an easy-to-use developer metrics tool for visualizing the technical contributions to Wikimedia projects on Phabricator, Gerrit, and Github. You can view fellow Wikimedians' contributions or share with them a link to your contribution activity on WikiContrib.

Most relevant changes in this version include:

-

Feature to visualize contributions to Wikimedia repositories on GitHub. -

Unique shareable URL for contributions. -

Caching feature to reduce query latency. -

Fixes to long-standing critical bugs. -

User experience improvements.

I worked on these recent changes as part of my Outreachy internship project with guidance and support from my mentors Srishti Sethi < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/srishakatux/%3E,

Rammanoj Potla https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/rammanojpotla/,

and Suchakra Sharma https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Tuxology/.

We invite you to try the tool, and if you encounter any bugs, it would be helpful if you could report them on the GitHub repository https://github.com/wikimedia/WikiContrib. We would also love to hear what more you would like to see in the tool, how you would want to use it, and any other ideas you might have on the Tool’s talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiContrib.
