editWhat is CapX? CapX is a platform to easily find other Wikimedians, affiliates, and programmes, to exchange knowledge and information (for more information, see this short video). It is built on Wikimedia values and technology using data that is already publicly available on Wikimedia Projects, but organises it in a way that is user-friendly, interactive, and multilingual.
Make sure to fill out the additional information to register for Let’s Connect after filling out your CapX profile. Here is a tutorial on how to do this.
