Portal:Toolforge/Admin/Workgroup

Toolforge is a complex service. There are many moving parts and there are always several people working on different pieces of it.

We have been creating informal Toolforge-specific meetings from time to time, to unblock some decisions or to get everyone on the same page.

We are experimenting with having a monthly 1h Toolforge engineering-focused meeting called Toolforge Workgroup meeting.

This meeting is meant to be open in nature:

• The wikimedia cloud services team (WMCS)
• Toolforge community root group member
• Any other interested parties can be invited if requested (reach out on irc/email)

Next meeting agenda

Planned for 2023-10-03

• Toolforge + Developer Account Creation. Can we streamline this? Can we remove the moderation from Toolforge? phab:T346384 is for the docs work, but any process/infra improvements will help make the docs simpler.
