PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Wikimania Hackathon 2023 will take place between Tuesday and Saturday, 15–19 August 2023, throughout the Wikimania 2023 conference.
The Wikimania hackathon is a working event with limited capacity where technical Wikimedians from around the world meet to co-work on engineering problems. Unlike other Wikimania events, this event is specifically meant for individuals with technical backgrounds or who are involved in specific wiki-related technical projects. We also encourage attendance from members of underserved communities who are looking for technical help for their wikis / projects. If you have any questions please email the hackathon organizers!
