Which links to:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Project_Design_Review_Process
Is that page geared for consumption by third-party developers? Or just
internal WMF documentation? Is it clear about what things you want from
an eg extension author who wants their extension to be deployed on
Wikimedia project sites?
If you check the history you can see that Brandon made this page as a
proposal back in 2011. It is not particularly up to date or a reflection of
input from the entirety of the current design team. We should have
something like this though, at least for outlining how design review works
for volunteer extensions/patches.
We have a number of extensions that are awaiting review and/or are
starting the review process now. Having something I can point them to
that says "think about these things in preparation for a formal design
review" is really nice, especially given the fact that in many places we
say "get the design review done as early as possible, preferably before
any code is written."
Seems not nice to say that but then "we don't know what the review looks
like". :/
Sorry, I'm channeling the feedback I'm getting from the community here.
