Coolest Tool Award
Le comunità wiki in tutto il mondo hanno differenti utilizzi e necessità tecniche. Gli sviluppatori volontari sono spesso i primi a trovare e affrontare questi bisogni. Sperimentano nuove idee, costruiscono soluzioni locali e globali e migliorano l'esperienza del nostro software.
Ci sono moltissimi strumenti fantastici in circolazione.
È ora di far festa!

Cos'è un tool?
It’s software that:
- Makes work easier, more efficient, more fun
- Facilitates the work of volunteers, brings in new contributors, or improves wiki projects
- Some examples: gadgets, MediaWiki extensions, websites and web services, APIs, mobile applications, desktop applications, bots, notebooks, user scripts, games
But what makes a tool the coolest? The goal of the award is to:
- Celebrate good work and appreciate developers
- Share useful tools with wider audiences
- Encourage contributors from diverse developer communities
Fase di candidatura
The nomination survey is open for 2 weeks, to give time for people to submit nominations for their favorite tools.
Consider tools that are:
- Doing something new and exciting
- Really helping the communities
- Evolving with changing needs or building on essential workflows
Coolest Tool Academy
This group is selected with a variety of criteria ensuring continuity, previous year winners, mix of editors / developers / Wikimedia Foundation staff, mix of geography and languages. This is done to minimize bias. Folks who are interested in participating in the Academy for the next edition are invited to reach out to us.
Processo di selezione
Dopo che il processo di nomination finisce, la Academy si riunisce per discutere le voci e il processo di selezione, poi rivede individualmente gli strumenti candidati, e infine c'è un ultimo incontro dove la Academy si riunisce e discute le nomination per assegnare finalmente i premi nelle varie categorie.
Cerimonia di premiazione
I progetti premiati sono annunciati in una cerimonia di premiazione dedicata. A seconda della situazione o in contemporanea con un evento di movimento esistente, o se non è possibile, in un evento virtuale.
