Wmf ops probably don't, but thanks to labs we could probably create a new infrastructure managed by community developers, where we could host the sites / documentation and repository for code all under one wmf domain like development.wikimedia.org/wiki etc. I think we could host the source code using the wikimedia git, but problem is with repository of installation packages to download and webserver to host the related wiki / site on, I think either labs could be perfect for this, or some wiki dedicated to developers

Hi folks,
we have had some discussion with other devs of huggle and I have a question, what is the best location to host wikimedia related projects? Documentation / web pages (preferably a wiki), I guess most suitable is
mww
but that one should be for mediawiki only or not? I am talking about projects like awb, pywikipediabot, dotnetwikibot, bots, labs and many others. I think we should either create a category for these at mww or maybe create a new wiki just for various software projects and related documentation? I would rather prefer first option for now, because it's
not
so hard to maintain and I don't think there is really a need to open
whole
new wiki just for documentation and various wikimedia projects, like labs etc. Second question is where to host source code and files? Some
projects
are using 3rd providers, however there is an idea to move huggle
repository
to wikimedia git after it's set up, it would be good to have all sources
on
one place so that it's easier to find various projects people might be interested in.
I'm guessing each project should answer this according to it's own size and needs. One-size-fits-all answers probably don't exist.
We're hosting code specific to ro.wp on Google Code, toghether with some OSM code. Given the poor experience I've had with planet.wikimedia.org in Romanian, I don't think that moving all the code to Wikipedia is such a good idea. 3rd party project hosting providers do their best to offer as many features as possible in a very simple way. The WMF OPS team is not made for that.
