Wikimedia Brings The Wikipedia Approach To How It Runs Its Servers

wikimedia_labsWikipedia and all of its related projects are obviously driven by the work of thousands of volunteers. Interestingly, though, while Wikipedia runs on top of an open-source stack, it's been traditionally very hard for volunteers to help the organization run its sites. Most of that work is currently done by paid employees. For about a year and a half, though, the Wikimedia Foundation - the organization behind Wikipedia and its sister projects - has been working on Wikimedia Labs, a new project based on OpenStack that will allow volunteers to help the Wikimedia team develop, test and deploy changes to the organization's infrastructure. Wikimedia Labs launched as a closed beta back in October 2011 and is still in closed beta today.
