- Create business opportunities for independent software developers
- When i first started using mw, there wa s a lot of documentation, spread about. What I needed was someone else to point me at stuff (you know, like anti-spam stuff that is fairly common), and give a steer to new adopters
- Contribute to extensions
- Then also to be able to have a convo wit mw devs about the roadmap and whether this would have effects on current running systems (like plans for php version min reqs etc,)
- The next time I upgrade my wiki farm nothing breaks
- Contributing back to the mediawiki ecosystem
- Keep an eye on development affecting third party users
- MediaWiki to be better than Wordpress, Google and Facebook!
