Quiddity,
Unfortunately I don't see that this is in a state ready to take to our
communities for a conversation. It is full of jargon, and many of the
components mentioned are only specific to some wikis, not many wikis,
and I represent an English speaking community, let alone English as a
second-plus language. Further dumping this onto communities poking
them to phabricator, and to mediawikiwiki talk pages is not useful for
vast parts of our communities, or for those with fortitude.
To be taken to a community it needs a tighter scope, and something
that the community can reasonably understand what it means for that
community, the changes that it would make and the outcome would be ...
Maybe you could start with the bite-size of what is the purpose of
phase 1, why it is urgent, what you are looking to achieve and how
each community's can address the global needs, and/or how a
repurposing might cause issues/
Regards, Billinghurst

Hi all,
The Collaboration team is currently working on a variety of
improvements and updates to the Notifications (Echo) extension.[1]
One task is improving how the many different types of notifications
are sorted, into the two fly-out menus. Your feedback would be
especially appreciated here.
TL;DR: Please see this spreadsheet, listing the Current split, and 3
alternative groupings:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eVQVbzVhhVejEMnVqRBC98weBnfrnZqcGEx…
(or a simplified version, and without the 3rd more complex
"Experimental" grouping, at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123018
)
The team is currently recommending we start off with the "By urgency"
grouping. There is a list of Pros/Cons for each, in the spreadsheet.
Please give us feedback, either at phabricator, or at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Sw196pvf5vwt6pku
Detailed information on the goals and background of this task, is
included in both the phabricator and
mediawiki.org links.
Much thanks,
Quiddity / Nick
