Wikimedia Interactive Team

The interactive team of Discovery is working on building services for Wikimedia projects to provide new ways to learn and share. Projects like interactive maps and graph services are two examples that are currently underway. The ability to create data sets and share it for reuse across Wikimedia projects is another idea being discussed. See our vision.
