Last week the blog family of Wikimedia was expanded with the addition of the Wikimedia Technical Blog.  Fairly self-explanatory in its naming, the Technical blog will explore all matters software, hardware, and infrastructure relating to Wikimedia.  That includes the servers and capacity that deliver Wikipedia to hundreds of millions of users around the world every month, not to mention the open-source wiki platform MediaWiki.

Helming the blog will be our own tech team, headed by our CTO Brion Vibber, alongside the pool of volunteers who work on the code and keep our systems humming along.

The Technical Blog is also part of Planet Wikimedia, the RSS blog aggregator for all blogs Wikimedia related – a must-subscribe if wiki is your thing.

Happy blogging to the technical team!
