I guess the article are targeted towards general public, not technical people

I found this page which has more technical details on what it actually is: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise

Also found out that it is open source: https://github.com/wikimedia/OKAPI

Those are linked from the article, (that's the .proto on GitHub I mentioned) but what're we going to do with that? (And why does everything have to be formatted like a wiki page..)

I mean, it's fine, I just got momentarily excited for something that the announcement isn't. I wanted to find a pricing page, free tier, API docs, etc. Like Wikidata but.. I don't want to say 'modernised', but made more accessible, and with APIs for higher level content like this rather than just rawer data.
