Hey!
I have started Developer hub on meta [1] - it's page for developers (not only php) who are looking for some project they can participate on, I am myself a developer of huggle (utility used on wikipedia for reverting vandalism, written in c#) and it's really hard to look for more devs who could join us, so I guess this could help a bit, especially if there are people who know other languages than php and are looking for projects they could work on. Feel free to improve that page or insert other projects, like AWB, etc. I don't even know what all tools we are using on wikimedia so it would do to have it all on one place.
Thanks!

Hi.
I started a village pump at Meta-Wiki a few months ago with the idea of creating a place where people from any Wikimedia wiki can ask technical questions: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech. It's basically a global version of the English Wikipedia's "Village pump (technical)". It may be nice to tie the two ideas together.

That is great! I was thinking of something like "tool requests" page where people could discuss and request tools and other software, which is actually something similar to this. I agree we should connect it somehow.

Should there be a place for 'Extensions Wanted' as well? Does one already exist?
I guess there is not, but you are welcome to improve mentioned pages!

If you create one, look at the moving some from the "Extension requests" section of Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?component=Extensions%20requests&a...

Was looking for that :) Now to pick which ones to move and which not to...
There's also this page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_requests

I'm curious about what the difference between this new hub and this existing hub: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_hub will be...
Here's another link for requested extensions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_requests

Hi,
The difference is that current hub was only for developers of mediawiki, this one is for everything including tools, bots and various tech stuff related to wikimedia projects

Still, I'd prefer it to be on www.mediawiki.org Not everything on mediawiki.org is mediawiki php code, see for instance pywikipediabot code review: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia
Right if you got no problem moving all c#, python and such stuff to mediawiki site, no problem :) I created in on meta to avoid people telling me: don't add stuff which got nothing to do with mediawiki development here!

That may not be a bad idea in itself actually. My understanding is there's been an ongoing effort to move technical documentation from Meta to MediaWiki and WikiTech. I'd be happy to assist with that. Already looking at ways to improve the MW developer hub in ways that will hopefully make it look as clean and approachable as the new Meta one.
My main concerns are confusing developers and enterprise wikis sysadmins. My impression is there's an intent to direct enterprise wikis and developers specifically to MW.org and I don't think they'd think to look to Meta to find companion development work. Most, if not all, development efforts that seemed to start as WMF specific (bots, tool server and mobile especially) have gone on to be used by enterprise wikis. I'd be sad to see that dynamic change and for them to be left out of some potential tools and software.
My only request is that developments also link to MW so non-WMF wikis can benefit from the work and that an effort be made to convert WMF specific projects to MW, maybe upon completion, for use by other wikis.

Pretty much everything related to mediawiki development has already been moved off meta. The pages that remain probably aren't worth moving anyway.
