           Summary: Close usability.wikimedia.org to editing
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://usability.wikimedia.org
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: shell
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Site requests
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: gpaum...@wikimedia.org


The usability wiki located at http://usability.wikimedia.org was used as the
main platform for the Wikipedia Usability Initiative and the Multimedia
Usability Project. Both this grand-funded projects are now over.

In retrospect, opening a brand new wiki may not have been the best solution,
and the WMF engineering teams are now using mediawiki.org as their main
collaboration platform, in order to be closer to the community of volunteer
developers.

Little content hosted on the usability wiki is still relevant to current
projects, and it can be imported to mediawiki.org on a per-page basis (see
comment below).

As a consequence, the Usability wiki should be closed to editing, and only kept
as an archive.

Thanks!
