New Open Source community "tools set" by Wikimedia CH

Preamble

This activity is boosted by @ValerioBoz-WMCH thanks to the activation by Ilario - WMCH Innovation Lead - contact Ilario for details about this collaboration.

Historical Context of Wikimedia CH

Wikimedia CH in early months of 2024 approved my stub for the Wikimedia CH's Information Technology Strategy, designed to be deeply connected to the support of communities in a safe and ethical space and without vendor lock-in. The challenge is to deliver Open Source tools that can be used by the organization WMCH and by the communities to better collaborate together in this new welcoming safe space, well-integrated.

Proposed Requirements → Proposed Implementations → Proposed Partners

To take concrete actions, the staff and the board of WMCH needs a creative space to make decisions and write down some possible requirements to fit existing and future workflows under this new Tech Strategy document.

So, I tried to proactively propose some feasible requirements. And, I proposed an early implementation, and, I proposed an early adoption of partners to be able to touch these implementations, to give enough margin of actionable creativity to staff and board of WMCH.

Here the current proposed requirements, and their proposed implementation, and the proposed partners:
