This edition aims to bring together individuals already contributing to the technical aspects of Wikimedia projects, familiar with navigating the technical ecosystem, and capable of working or collaborating autonomously on projects.

Revision as of 13:05, 15 March 2024

Wishathon is an initiative designed to foster collaboration across the Wikimedia community to develop solutions for wishes collected through the Community Wishlist Survey. The inaugural community edition will take place from March 15th to 17th, 2024.

Since May 2022, the Community Tech team has successfully organized five Wishathons, promoting collaboration among teams and departments within the Wikimedia Foundation on Community Wishlist projects. The upcoming community edition expands the Wishathon to a broader audience—individuals interested in participating in wish development or exploring innovative solutions, whether as a user, developer, designer, or product lead, are welcome to join the event! This edition aims to bring together individuals already contributing to the technical aspects of Wikimedia projects, familiar with navigating the technical ecosystem, and capable of working or collaborating autonomously on projects.

How to participate

Participants are encouraged to autonomously select a project from the Ideas list and work on it during the Wishathon, collaborating with other attendees and receiving guidance from experienced contributors.

Before the event, you can navigate to the top of the page to register. Organizers will send a message to your talk page with more details about the event and post updates on this page. You can take the time to learn about the promoted projects and connect with interested participants using their preferred contact method.

During the event, participants can learn more about the listed projects during the Opening sessions, ask technical questions related to projects during Office Hour, or asynchronously on discussion channels (IRC, Telegram, etc.). Participants are also encouraged to self-organize a Project breakout session to further plan the project with fellow participants. Please use the "Project breakout" column in the schedule below to add details about your session. The projects listed for the Wishathon have a defined scope, clear objectives, and participants will be invited to share the outcomes in a final Showcase session.

There will be two sessions where you can learn more about the Community Wishlist Survey and engage in discussions related to the Future of the Wishlist. There will also be Social sessions for participants to get to know each other and a Piano Concert run by User:Lucas Werkmeister. Coupon codes will be distributed for swag redemption at the Wikimedia store to individuals who participate in the final showcase.

Zeitplan

Note: Participants are encouraged to choose a project from the Ideas list and collaborate during the Wishathon, with guidance from experienced contributors.
