The goal of the cross-departmental program is to empower the Wikimedia Foundation to accomplish its goals of Knowledge Equity and Knowledge as a Service by evolving and investing in our technology stack to improve its flexibility, maintainability, and sustainability.

Description
Infrastructure for Wikimedia projects can be more easily scaled due to increased modularization, re-use, maintainability, and testability of the technology stack
More of the full functionality of MediaWiki can be delivered across all interfaces, devices, and form factors while maintaining usability, accessibility, and internationalization standards
WMF and volunteer engineers and developers are more effectively onboarded using new and improved documentation that is clear, complete, and cohesive
Session management system is isolated from the rest of the platform
It is easier to install, update, deploy, and configure our development, testing, and production environments as well as simple third-party instances of our technology stack
