This group represents the mathematicians worldwide that use Wikimedia products (such as MediaWiki, Wikibase) on WMF-hosted and privately hosted servers. While our long-term objective is to make mathematical knowledge better accessible to every human being in close collaboration with the Wikimedia 2030 movement, our short-term objective is to coordinate the global activities to improve the display and retrieval of mathematical expressions, such as . More specifically, until Thursday, May 24, 2018, the syntax of the input for mathematical formulae in MediaWiki, i.e., Wikipedia and Wikibase, i.e., Wikidata was fixed. Now, we are in a position that we can change the input syntax and implement new features. To do so we need to reach a global consensus on how to design the details of the new syntax and which new features would be most beneficial towards the success of our vision.
