It is an honor to announce that S Page[1] has moved
from the Collaboration
(Flow) team to join the WMF Engineering Community team as a Technical
Writer[2]. We were really lucky to find such a great combination of English
communication skills, awareness of MediaWiki documentation pain points,
more-than-basic MediaWiki development experience, and Wikimedia community
mileage. Besides, S is self-driven, based in San Francisco, and accompanies
almost any reaction with a smile, assets of great value in his new position.
Exciting news for MediaWiki I think. I had a conversation just last
week about tech writing and expressed that the sort of tech writing
tasks that were being discussed would not be reasonable for just any
random tech writer we brought in on contract. As soon as I was
reminded that S was going to be making this transition my fears that
staffing would be impossible were gone. :)
I look forward to tricking^Wconvincing S to help with several of the
under documented projects I have started or wandered into the middle
of helping with.
