Technical Collaboration
The Technical Collaboration group at the Wikimedia Foundation helps developers to build features in collaboration with our communities. We are organized in two teams based on primary audiences: Community Liaisons (editors) and Developer Relations (developers).
| Questions by topic | Where to get direct support |
|---|---|
| Editing tools: Do you have questions about the visual editor? Do you want to report a bug or share an idea about how to improve it? |
|
| Collaboration tools: Do you have questions about Flow, the threaded discussion and workflow tool? | Feedback page for Flow |
| Notifications: Do you have questions about Notifications or "Echo"? | Feedback on Notifications |
| Translations: Do you want to help translate our software or documentation? Can you help improve incorrect or untranslated items on buttons or in other parts of the user interface on a wiki? Do you want to translate announcements and help pages for editors and other contributors? | Introduction to Wikimedia translation |
| Volunteer development: Do you want to become a volunteer developer? | How to become a MediaWiki hacker |
| Report a bug: Is something not working as it should? You can do something about it by submitting a bug report. | [[mw:How to report a bug|Read how to report a bug on MediaWiki.org |
| Tool Labs: Do you want to run a project on Tool Labs? Do you need a place to host a tool or bot that helps users maintain and use Wikimedia wikis? Do you want access to and replicas of Wikimedia databases? | Contact Chase for help. |

Product
Wikimedia Product writes software for the Wikimedia movement. The Discovery team works on search functions and maps. The Editing team maintains the core editing tools, including the visual editor. The Reading team improves the experience for readers and casual contributors, especially on mobile platforms. The Community Technology team supports active editors through the Community Wishlist project.
- See the Wikimedia Product portal for more details
Technology
Wikimedia Technology maintains the technical infrastructure that is used by Wikipedia and other projects. In addition to operations and security, they also support research and the Tool Labs for community developers working on tools and bots that help users maintain and use wikis.
