This is not the start of a rant. I am genuinely curious why more developers don't contribute to Wikipedia, whether about tech topics, or any other interests. A common barrier for many people, namely the archaicwiki markup is less applicable to developers. While most developersdo not contribute to open source software, many do write bug reports, or push for their companies to use open source because it's standardised and transferable knowledge in many cases.

There isn't the same incentive or necessity with knowledge on Wikipedia.

How can we change this? Enclosed myEnglish Wikipedia profile. Ping me if you want to get more active! Maybe we can organise a virtual Edit-A-Thon here.
