La segunda fase del CapX comenzó en junio de 2023. En agosto de 2023, comenzó el desarrollo del backend tras una cuidadosa planificación. Las actividades de Outreach comenzaron en septiembre de ese año. De diciembre de 2023 a marzo de 2024, organizamos unas prácticas de divulgación. En abril de 2024, comenzamos la implementación del frontend.

Development
Our technical plan guides our activities. The current version follows up its second and first versions, and aims to guide the second cycle of development, from the initial launch to June 2025. To ensure the project's technical sustainability, we switched the programming language to Python (using the Django framework).
At Wikimania 2024, we launched the CapX prototype (capx.toolforge.org) for user testing. The Capacity Exchange team has been working to incorporate all community feedback we received since then, and we expect to deploy a new version of it at the beginning of 2025.
Below are some project milestones for your acquaintance.
- En diciembre de 2023, realizamos grupos de discusión para evaluar el anterior piloto CapX e identificar sus carencias y puntos fuertes. Dicha evaluación orienta actualmente, en 2024, nuestra ruta de desarrollo.
- También en diciembre de 2023, CapX incorporó a un becario de Ronda 27 de Outreachy, dentro de la iniciativa Assist Capacity Exchange Development. Durante la pasantía, colaboramos con el proyecto Lusophone Technological Wishlist en nuestro esfuerzo común para (re)imaginar la infraestructura sociotécnica del Movimiento Wikimedia desde una perspectiva del Sur Global. Las prácticas finalizaron en marzo de 2024.
- En marzo de 2024, incorporamos a un nuevo desarrollador de software responsable de la frontend, que comenzó a implementarse en abril de 2024.
- In July 2024, the CapX Working Team convened in São Paulo (Brazil) for a planning meeting. And in August, 2024, we presented capx.toolforge.org at Wikimania 2024, in Poland.
- In September 2024, we began the process of slowly transitioning Capacity Exchange's management. For two months, Andi Inácio and Amanda Jurno co-managed the project, before Andi stepped-out to pursue a PhD scholarship abroad.
- In October 2024, we concluded the process of selecting two new members of the CapX Technical Development team. We then started to onobard CapX's new front-end developer and designer UX/UI.
- Through the months of October and November 2024, the team refactored the Technical Plan, which follows up its second and first versions, and aims to guide the second cycle of the software development.
- In November and December 2024, we conducted focus groups to assess the CapX current version and identify its gaps and strengths. Currently, the team is engaged in incorporating all community feedback into a fresh version of the software.
Divulgación
Las actividades de divulgación (como la comunicación con la comunidad, las reuniones estratégicas y los grupos focales), tienen como objetivo consultar a las diferentes partes interesadas clave dentro del Movimiento Wikimedia. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar las necesidades y perspectivas de los wikimedistas en relación con la solución sociotécnica propuesta para el desarrollo de capacidades comunitarias basadas en el aprendizaje entre iguales. La consulta continua tiene como objetivo recopilar información sobre nuestras plataformas piloto, lo que nos permite mejorar las características existentes y desarrollar otras nuevas.
En 2023, los facilitadores de divulgación promovieron el intercambio de capacidades en los siguientes eventos:
- WECUDI (La Plata, Argentina)
- CEE Meeting (Tbilisi, Georgia)
- WikiConvention francophone (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire)
- Wiki Women Camp (New Delhi, India)
- Glam Wiki (Montevideo, Uruguay)
- Wikimedia Summit 2024 (Berlin, Germany)
- Wikimania 2024 (Katowice, Poland)
- WikiIndaba 2024, (Johannesburg, South Africa)
Iniciativa Capacity Exchange (2021-2022)
The initial phase of the Capacity Exchange was led by a voluntary working group of Wikimedians, after a pitch at a Wikimedia European Affiliates meeting. This group formulated the concept, taxonomy, and pilot platform for the initiative.
The working group delivered a pilot software based on the OER World Map. The pilot was then tested by a small group of interested future users, who provided initial feedback on it.
Trans-localizing its activities, the platform care started to be transitioned to Wiki Movimento Brasil, as of November 2022. The project proposal for the new phase was then presented to the MSIG.
