Hi everyone!
I think that there are two categories of developers now:
- Wikimedia developers deal with Wikimedia tasks of running Wikipedia and
all other projects 2) Independent developers which use MediaWiki for their needs. I think that not much of us even know that wikitech website exist. :)
IMO stuff related to inner projects of Wikimedia foundation should be located on wikitech. Manuals that are related to MediaWiki as a software and its extensions should live on MediaWiki.org. No Wikimedia-specific materials here.
If the most problematic point of this proposal is the location of certain pages then the best is to be conservative moving content from mediawiki.org to Wikitech. Do as Yuri says and keep the docs interesting for "independent developers" in mediawiki.org.
There is enough change to do before reaching that point. Once we are there we can look around and decide whether it is worth moving anything else or not.
This would hopefully satisfy as well the feedback received at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Technical_communications/Dev_wiki_consoli...
If there is agreement about this then I can just edit accordingly
