Hi all!
I’m Dan Shick (
https://w.wiki/RDs ), the new technical writer at
Wikimedia Deutschland. My goals are to discover, improve, unify and
round out documentation for the Wikibase & Wikidata development team;
my specific duties are defined by my team leadership and the
leadership of both products.
I see a lot of documentation out there, and it needs organizing so
that people of every audience can find the information they’re looking
for. Audiences include volunteers & the community, employees of
Wikimedia Deutschland and independent users of the products, and I see
plenty of overlap between those groups. Perhaps most importantly, if
the documentation someone needs doesn’t exist, I want to see it get
written.
My first task is to collect and improve the Wikibase post-install
documentation. I have a lot of resources already on the table, but of
course I welcome pointers to and feedback on any and all existing
documentation.
You'll find this text on my wiki page as well; if you want to say hi
or have any questions or comments, feel free to shoot me an email or
speak up on my talk page.
