Report of activities for 2025 - Capacity Exchange
First semester (Jan - Jun)
Renewed version of CapX
In the first semester of 2025, Wikimedia Brasil successfully launched a new version of the Capacity Exchange platform, a mobile-first, open source tool designed to foster peer-to-peer capacity building within the Wikimedia Movement.[1][2] The development was driven by feedback from the community, ensuring the software met real user needs while adhering to best practices in user experience and interface design.[3] The platform was deployed on Wikimedia Toolforge, is thoroughly documented, and fully aligns with the values of openness and decentralization, pivotal to the Wikimedia ecosystem.
This achievement fulfills strategic goals outlined in the Technical Plan and the MSIG Grant commitments, contributing to the chapter's objective of reimagining the Movement's socio-technical infrastructure. The team delivered a stable and functional version of the software, reflecting both technical excellence and thoughtful design. The work is publicly available and widely referenced across movement platforms, reinforcing its value as a shared resource for the Wikimedia community.[4]
