==పరిధి==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

'''On-wiki technical skills''' focuses on the resources, on-wiki spaces, and peer-to-peer mentorship/help available on wiki-related technical issues, e.g. creating/updating bots, graphics, templates, Lua programming, wiki markup.

==సవాళ్ళు==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

*'''Technical skills''': While basic contribution on the Wikimedia projects requires familiarity with wiki markup, basic contribution typically does not require any advanced technical skills. But the projects are assisted by a wide range of technical tools and gadgets, and certain types of contribution require a technical understanding of how the projects work and interact. Many (but not all) communities have at least one or two people possessing such skills, but they are often working independently, sometimes without an easy or clear way for the rest of the community to make requests of them. Additionally, some skills are less common or harder to learn (e.g. Lua scripting; deep familiarity with Wikidata, beyond the most common uses).

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

*'''Awareness''': Many technical developments are produced each month, both by the Foundation and by organizations and individual volunteers across the movement. It is often difficult for communities to digest everything that is going on, due to the very decentralized nature of technical development in the movement, as well as time and sometimes language constraints. This lack of socialization leads to missed opportunities to benefit from existing technology, which means either less efficient work, or a duplication of work to re-invent similar tools and technologies.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

*'''Slowed innovation''': Innovation can be slowed when there are no clear venues on a wiki to discuss technical topics, or to make technical requests. The absence of these venues or channels creates a gap between contributors with technical needs or ideas and those who could implement solutions.

</div>

==Possible approaches==

<span id="Possible_approaches"></span>

==చేయదగినవి==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

* Creation of on-wiki technical coordination spaces, where they do not exist today

* Setting up a local team to regularly translate and/or summarize WMF's (and general movement) Tech News in the local language.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

* Identifying volunteers interested in broadening their technical skills, and pairing them with mentors from WMF or other communities, to better integrate with the global tech spaces and channels

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

* In-depth conversation with interested communities on their current tech practices and tech needs, with an emphasis on automation, tracking, and evaluation needs (rather than on desired major features like a [[phab:T5525|cross-wiki watchlist]]). Identification of these major tech needs would be followed by prioritization by community and evaluation within WMF.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

** If those needs can be addressed with existing solutions, focus on communicating, documenting, translating, or teaching relevant information about existing solutions.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

** For those sufficiently-impactful needs that are possible to address with a reasonable investment of effort, see if they can be worked into an existing WMF team's workplan (particularly via the new [[mw:Community Tech team|Community Tech team]]). If not possible, alternative actions could be: collaboration with an interested volunteer developer from the wider movement, development via an [[Grants:IEG|Individual Engagement Grant (IEG)]].

==Sketch of a possible capacity-building project==

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Challenge:

Lack of volunteers familiar with [some technology] (e.g. Mediawiki API; Wikidata architecture; bot frameworks; Lua templating)

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Goals: Ensure the community has a handful of people familiar with [a technology]

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Key Steps:

# Gather volunteers with existing technical background interested in training in additional skills

Line 27 ⟶ 57:

# Integrate new volunteers with existing tech communities

# Create local-language coordination space for requests and discussion of [a technology]

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Timeline: 3-4 months

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Means and resources: 1. WMF assistance in arranging training or mentorship; 2. WMF funding for travel for in-person training, if any.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

; Evaluation:

# Before and after surveys of community understanding and confidence regarding [a technology] use

# Follow-up after 9 months to assess degree of use of new knowledge, and effectiveness of local space.
