Welcome to the Developer-Experience-working-group wiki!

A wiki in a working group of an open source project typically has several goals:

  1. Knowledge sharing: A wiki provides a centralized platform for group members to share and access information, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication and ensuring that everyone has access to the latest information.

  2. Collaboration: A wiki encourages collaboration by allowing group members to contribute to and edit pages, fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for the project.

  3. Documentation: A wiki serves as a repository for project documentation, including design documents, meeting notes, and tutorials, making it easy for new members to get up to speed and for existing members to find the information they need.

  4. Transparency: A wiki promotes transparency by providing a public record of the group's discussions, decisions, and progress, making it easier for external contributors to understand the project and get involved.

  5. Archival: A wiki serves as a historical record of the project, allowing group members to look back and see how the project has evolved over time.

  6. Onboarding: A wiki can be used as a tool for onboarding new members, providing them with an overview of the project, its goals, and its current state, as well as information on how to get started contributing.

  7. Communication: A wiki can be used as a communication tool, allowing group members to stay informed about the project's progress and any important updates or changes.

  8. Standardization: A wiki can be used to standardize the way information is presented and shared, making it easier for group members to find and understand the information they need.

  9. Decentralization: A wiki allows for decentralization of information, allowing for a more robust and resilient system, as information is not stored in a single location or controlled by a single person.

  10. Community building: A wiki can be used to build a sense of community among group members, fostering a culture of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mutual support.
