| − | The Wikimania hack-a-thon is an opportunity for technologists and hackers of all backgrounds to meet, discuss MediaWiki development, and collaborate on exciting new projects in the days prior to the Wikimania 2012 conference. Prior experience with the MediaWiki software is not required, and translators with a linguistic background who can help improve language support for Wikimedia technology projects are especially needed. |
