About

edit

Indic Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 is for anyone who contributes (or wants to contribute) to Wikimedia’s technical spaces code developers, maintainers, translators, designers, technical writers and other technical roles. Along with that, contributors who don't necessarily contribute to technical spaces but have good understanding of issues on wikis and can work with developers in addressing them can join too. You can come with a project in mind, join an existing project, or create something new with others. The goal of this event is to bring together technical contributors from India to resolve pending technical issues, bugs, brainstorm on tooling ideas, and foster connections between contributors.
