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.
