Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
Please avoid as much as possible from "not feasible" answers but rather
direct the proposals to smaller and feasible solutions if they are too
broad. Usually such proposals have higher impact and importance compared to
smaller tasks.
Good example of such answer by Danny H in

Some ideas that may be hard to fully achieve and community tech may need to
help with properly scoping:
1.

2.

3.

All of the 3 examples are very good ideas IMO. They may not be fully
feasible, but I'm sure they are all partially feasible if properly scoped.

After that, there's a two-week voting period,when everyone can post support-votes on the proposals.You can post technical proposals until 11 November.You can vote on proposals from 16 November to 30 November.The Community Tech team is responsible for addressing the top tenwishes on the list. If they, after investigating it, find thatsomething isn't feasible, they need to explain why to the community.The Wishlist can also be used by volunteer developers and other teams,who want to find projects to work on that the community really wants.//Johan Jönsson--_______________________________________________Wikitech-l mailing listWikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l_______________________________________________
