Wikivoyage/Technical coordination

This page serves as a central coordination page for the launch of Wikimedia's new travel project (cf. travel guide).

The launch will likely be conducted in partnership with the Wikivoyage community and the non-profit organization currently supporting it.

The launch team, on the WMF side, will be led by Eloquence (talk), supported by User:Philippe (WMF) and the legal team. Further details will be posted here. If you'd like to be part of the technical launch team, please indicate your interest below, as well as areas in which you could help.

We will need:

ops support to get the new wikis (multiple languages) set up;
MW developer / dev-ops support to import content from Wikivoyage;
ideally, MW developer / dev-ops support to review existing site customizations / extensions and examine whether they are deployable on the WMF cluster;
experienced Wikimedian / testing support to ensure everything is done correctly (attribution, appearance and function of the wiki).
