https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Paper_cuts includes some ideas for small design improvements, in case anyone wants to try their hand at implementing them or suggesting better ways to address the problems. -Sumana

Heya folks :)
Quite a while ago Ubuntu did a paper cuts initiative (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneHundredPaperCuts). Basically it was about collecting and fixing small bugs/annoyances that were easy to fix but had a large impact on how pleasant it is to use the product. We're going to do something similar for Wikidata now.
I'd like to get a bugzilla keyword for this so we can easily tag those bugs. For that I need at least one other team however who'd like to join such an initiative. Is there anyone who's interested in this?
Sumana asked me for an update about how this is going so here it is:
I think it is going very very well so far. We've had a lot of high-quality, structured and useful input on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Paper_cuts and people seem to love the idea. Now it's up to the development team and the rest of the community to start working on fixes for the issues we've collected. IMHO definitely something to try for other new projects that could use some polish.
Cheers Lydia
