Goal: 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.

The Platform Evolution Program, and this Wiki, are split into 2 components: 1. The 3-5 year plan which represents the total work needed for the program to accomplish the goal 2. The FY18-19 plan which represents the first year's work moving the program towards the goal

-In recent months, teams across the organization have authored documents outlining both the needs of, and issues with the current WMF technical infrastructure. During conversations around these topics, it has become increasingly clear that stakeholders around the organization are not aligned on goals for our infrastructure which was making it difficult to move discussions forward in a productive way. The purpose of the Audiences and Technology Working Group (ATWG) is to gather and organize information on these issues in a systematic way in order to facilitate collaboration, decision making, and solution development within the WMF. This Platform Evolution Cross-Departmental Program (CDP) is the result of the efforts of this working group.
