OTRS is short for Open-source Ticket Request System (see OTRS). It is a tool by which volunteers assist the Wikimedia Foundation in responding to queries, complaints, and comments from the public. People trusted to give courteous and helpful responses are given access to the ticket system. The system operates under the auspices of the Communications committee of the WMF Board of trustees.

More volunteers are always needed. Information about volunteering for the English-language "info" queue is on another page. Otherwise, if you are an experienced editor and feel qualified to help answering emails in your language, please ask the contact for your language. If you would like an email address for a project/language that does not yet have a queue in OTRS, please contact an OTRS admin to set one up.

It is possible to define standard "template" answers to frequently asked questions. If you would like to add some for your queue, please create a page here on Meta at OTRS/yourlanguagecode with the titles and the text of the answers. After that, drop one of the admins a note so that they can be added to the system.

There is also an IRC channel, mailing list and article monitoring system dedicated to Wikimedia OTRS.
