Tuesday 2015-09-01T18:00 UTC [1] (11am San Francisco time) we will be
having an IRC office hour [2] about the
mw.org API: namespace.
* As Wikimedia adds other APIs such as Wikidata Query Service and RESTBase,
the structure and navigation needs to evolve.
* Also, as you may know we are writing pages to encourage third-party
developers to use Wikimedia data and APIs, and eventually want this "Web
APIs hub" [3] to become the "front door" rather than API:Main_page.
** and presented with a different appearance to new developers [4]
If you have thoughts, opinions, or needs from the API pages, I hope you can
attend. The last bullet point is challenging and controversial, so it helps
to share ideas and approaches.
