Abstract:
This session will give an overview of the work that is underway to develop a strategy for MediaWiki and present the product roadmap for the upcoming months.
- How do we envision the future of MediaWiki as the essential platform for the Wikimedia projects and as an open source project?
- What are the key challenges and opportunities?
- How can we grow the number of people who contribute to the software?
