[[Image:20041229_First_MediaWiki_Developer_Conference_Poster_with-signatures_21C3_Berlin.jpg|thumb|200px|Poster "sign-in" during the First Developers Conference in Berlin, Germany, December 29, 2004.]]
MediaWiki/Wikimedia '''developers''' are people who write MediaWiki software and/or do [https://wikitech.leuksman.com/view/Server_admin_log systems administration work] on the Wikimedia servers. Some developers have shell access, which means that they can change the WikiMedia site's live copy of [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], change article histories, read server logs, etc. Those with server access can also carry out various non-development tasks.

The [[m:Wikimedia|Wikimedia Foundation]] legally controls the servers, so the [[Wikimedia:Board of Trustees|Wikimedia Board of Trustees]] are ultimately responsible for determining who has developer access. However, they generally delegate this responsibility. On a day-to-day basis, various developers with root access manage the server accounts.

There is a rough hierarchy among developers. Initially, people contribute patches to [[MediaZilla:|Bugzilla]], discuss issues on the wikitech-l mailing list or participate in discussion there or on [[mw:MediaWiki on IRC|IRC]]. People who are considered trustworthy and wish to contribute code on a regular basis are given access to the code in Subversion. Developers who are particularly well trusted or have a special need may be granted shell access to the server cluster. And several people who are judged to have the appropriate level of skill and trustworthiness are given root access on the servers. See also [[how to become a MediaWiki hacker]].

For the [[w:webshop|webshop]] there is a separate user group for shell access and database. All those with root access have access to a remote power switch, to which several of the servers are connected.

==History==
Developers formerly had an important role in the [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] [[m:power structure|power structure]], since they were the only ones able to create sysops or ban users.

Some developers had shell access to the California servers, but due to inactivity, weren't given shell access on the "new" Florida servers. Magnus Manske, April King, Lee Daniel Crocker, Axel Boldt, Matthias Jordan, Neil Harris and Ed Poor are in this category. Note that Ed Poor was not involved with software development, but instead carried out what are now bureaucratic or sysop tasks, such as promoting sysops and locking accounts. Past MediaWiki software development activity level of developers may be found through [[m:CVS statistics]].

The following users had CVS access on Sourceforge. Since April 2006, Subversion has been used instead.
