FLOSS tools we use
  • MediaWiki - the open source wiki software which runs all Wikimedia projects. We use it internally as a coordination tool for our members and for our board.
  • LibreOffice - word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.
  • GIMP, Inkscape - bitmap graphics editor, vector graphics editor.
  • LDAP/OpenLDAP - a protocol to allow a single user login across all the tools our members are provided with (MediaWiki, Galette, Sympa)
  • Sympa - a mailing list manager (used especially by universities and other big lists). We replaced Mailman by Sympa, since it provides a better LDAP integration.
  • WordPress - CMS, for the official website/blog and several specialized websites
  • Piwik - Web analytics for all our websites
  • CiviCRM - constituent relationship management (more information)
  • GNU/Linux Ubuntu - Operating system running the staff computers.
  • Mumble - conference call system for board meetings − replaced Skype between August 2013 and 2014 and then again starting April 2015
  • Jitsi − onference call system for some working group meetings.
  • Phabricator − project management. The Wikimedia instance is used for joint projects with WMF (like the Wikimedia_Hackathon_2015) or public projects such as the WikiConvention francophone ; a self-hosted one for internal IT work tracking.
  • Nextcloud
FLOSS cloud services we use
FLOSS tools we used to use
  • SPIP - a content management system. We tried it for our new website but eventually used it for our first symposium (http://colloque.wikimedia.fr/2007)
  • GNU Cash - accounting software. It provides a double-entry bookkeeping feature.
  • Limesurvey Survey software
  • Galette - a membership manager. (pretty France-specific, poorly maintained and somewhat buggy, so not recommended). Was phased out in favour of CiviCRM since July 2012.
  • Scribus - a desktop publishing software for some of our work (eg for our annual reports). We are now using more Adobe InDesign.
  • Drupal, CMS, for the official website. Was phased out in favour of WordPress.
  • Bugzilla − bug tracking software for our internal IT needs. Was phased out in favour of a self-hosted Phabricator instance.
Proprietary applications we currently use
  • Adobe InDesign for our design work.
  • Ciel for accounting.
  • Staff machines are also equipped with Microsoft Windows (with Microsoft Office) as secondary operating system. (as main OS for accounting and design work)
Proprietary cloud services we currently use
  • Google Docs − mainly for its collaborative spreadsheet capabilities, marginally for collaborative writing (Etherpad/wiki are generally preferred)
  • Qualtrics for surveying
  • Google Forms for some internal surveying
  • Google Hangouts for remote participation to meetings, although Jitsi is getting more and more traction.
  • Trello for project management (projects like WLM, working groups tasks like GLAM)
  • GitHub for code hosting of volunteers projects.
  • 1Password for password management

FLOSS tools we use
  • MediaWiki – currently used both as restricted public wiki for our website and private wiki for members and board. We also run on MediaWiki a few other wikis (e.g., WikiAfrica and wlm.wikimedia.it), and we had a few others in the past (e.g., Musica and Biblioteca).
  • CiviCRM (with Drupal) – customer relationship management. We're using it to track members data and donors data (died on July 2015)
  • OTRS – an open source ticketing system. We use it to manage many email addresses (generic request, membership application, ecc.).
  • Mailman – a mailing list manager. We use it to administer mailing lists
  • freenode – freenode is a non-profit IRC network. WMI has a public channel there and a couple of private channels (mostly used by our board for their online meeting)
  • MySQL is used for the MediaWiki, CiviCRM and OTRS
  • CheckFox – used to check dozens of spam messages to be moved to junk queue in own OTRS
  • GNU Cash – open source accounting (replaced by some Italian-specific proprietary software which only runs on Windows)
  • WordPress – for websites like wikimedia.it, wikilovesmonuments.it, archeowiki.it, sostienilacultura.it and others
  • Ubuntu – operating system for all computers in the office and computers shown in public events, most board members
  • Debian GNU/Linux – operating for some servers (webserver, mailserver, database server, ecc.)
  • LibreOffice – word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.
  • Thunderbird – email client
  • GIMP – internally produced graphics
  • Nextcloud (at [5]) – file hosting/sharing and sometimes collaborative document editing, mainly for private files within the office and some members
  • LimeSurvey
  • https://framaforms.org – smaller surveys and data collection
  • https://framadate.org – date picking for member and board meetings (instead of Doodle) (technical info)
  • phpList (hosted) – occasional newsletters
  • Jitsi – internal meetings of the office/board/members and some webinars (public instance when few participants; temporary instance on a VM ad hoc for bigger ones)
  • Etherpad, Ethercalc – some document drafting
  • Moodle – courses and lessons (integrated with BigBlueButton)
  • BigBlueButton – videoconferencing tool
  • Helios Voting – cryptographically secure elections during online general assemblies
  • Matomo (ex "Piwik") – web analytics (phab:T270746)
Proprietary tools
  • Google Docs for some document drafting, usually by the staff
  • Google Forms for some internal processes (migrated to LimeSurvey in 2021)
  • Google Analytics replaced by Matomo in Dec 2021 (phab:T270746)
  • Dropbox for occasional sharing of internal documents replaced by ownCloud and then Nextcloud
  • Google Hangout or Skype for audio/video calls with third parties who rely on it (no known users in 2019)
  • MailChimp for some newsletters outside our traditional contacts (e.g. municipalities) [discontinued once in 2017 but then reappeared]
  • CiviCRM. Then it was replaced by Give. In 2023 we will migrate again to CiviCRM thanks to active development. phab:tag/wmit-civicrm
