Wikimedia Foundation announcement: meta:Community Wishlist#May 20, 2026: Community Tech becomes a program
summarize announcement neutrally
After noticing that having a centralized team was leading to frequent bottlenecks and delays ... we've decided to shift Community Tech into a program that multiple teams are officially responsible for supporting ... disbanding the Community Tech team and the roles of five engineers and one manager.
(emphasis added by The Signpost)
