[Forwarding to the Education and PE&D lists]
Hello all,
As you may know, this year the Community Tech team at the Wikimedia
Foundation hosted a new Community Wishlist Survey. During the proposal
phase, participants could submit proposals for features and fixes they’d
like the team to work on.
Now Phase 2 begins: time to vote! We know program leaders have many wishes
for program tools that can better support the implementation of
edit-a-thons, editing workshops, photo competitions, GLAM initiatives,
education programs, conferences and many more programs that are designed
every year. You can find those wishes at the Program and Events wishes page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/P…>
[1],
and vote for them! A few highlights are:
* Make finding and sharing documentation much easier
* Tool to post barnstars after large scale meetups
* Article tracking tool for Wikiprojects, edit-a-thons and other campaigns,
based on Wikidata
* Enable on-wiki lift for account creation limit at a specific IP range
* and more!
The voting phase goes from today, November 28, to December 12. Please make
sure to vote, pass this message on to your community, and encourage others
to vote, too!
After the voting phase, Community Tech plans to allocate 75% of the
wishlist work to the top 10 wishes, and 25% to proposals important to
smaller groups. This will include campaign and program organizers and GLAM
participants, among others. So, voting is important, even if you don't
think you'll get into the top 10!
Please do reach out to me if you have any questions about the voting
process.
Best,
Amanda

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Voting's open on 2016 Community Wishlist Survey
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
The voting has started on the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey, and all
Wikimedia contributors are invited to come and vote on the projects that
WMF's Community Tech team will work on next year:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey
There are 267 proposals this year, on a wide range of subjects that I'm
pretty sure you have an opinion about.
You've got two weeks to vote, from now through December 12th. You can vote
for as many proposals as you like, by adding a {{support}} tag under the
proposals that you think are worthwhile.
Once the voting's over, we'll have a ranked list of projects for the
Community Tech team to work on, as well as other developers and volunteers
who want to build features and make changes that the core contributors
really want.
This is an opportunity for you to help set the agenda for a WMF product
team, so I hope everybody comes and participates!
Danny Horn
WMF Product Manager

Hello Education list,
Many of you are already quite familiar with the Dashboard, but here's the
email we are sending around to let program leaders know there is a stable
beta version to use:
There is a beta version of a new tool to help you track your program and
measure its impact on any Wikimedia project, in any language--the Program
and Events Dashboard. [1]
In the past few months, we have been working to develop a web application
where Wikimedia program leaders can enter information about their program,
enable registration for participants, and keep track of activities… all in
one place! We call it the Programs and Events Dashboard, and it will allow
you to see in all the metrics you need to track your program.
Using the dashboard is very easy. You can login with your Wikipedia
username through OAuth and create a program right away. Among other fields,
you can enter home language, home project and start and end dates for your
program. When you create your program, the dashboard generates a link for
people to enroll, where participants can assign themselves articles to
work, or review articles created by others. You can see what articles
participants are working on, and also connect to other program leaders, all
in the same platform.
If you want to learn more about how the Dashboard works, join us on
Tuesday, November 29th, at 16:30 UTC on Tuesday, November 29th for a
demonstration via Google Hangout. [2]
We will really appreciate your feedback on how this new tool works! If you
find bugs, there are two ways to report them:
- privately via email to dashboard(a)wikimedia.org
- and publicly on Phabricator (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/1052/)
Your experience is key to improve this new tool, so we thank you in advance
for exploring and using the Dashboard in its beta version. We hope it is
useful to you in managing and tracking your programs!
Best,
Amanda

Hello all,
Please see this year's Community Wishlist announcement below. This year,
"Programs and events" and "Chapters and affiliates" are special categories
that will be considered outside the top 10 wishes.
"After the voting phase, when we have the prioritized backlog, we plan to
> allocate 75% of our wishlist work to the top 10 wishes, and 25% to
> proposals important to smaller groups....So – yes, please come and post
> your proposals, even if you don't think you'll get into the top 10!" [1]
The proposal phase lasts until Nov 20th--this is the time to propose *and
refine* proposals. Check back often and collaborate with your program and
affiliate peers to craft the best proposals. So far, there are 3 Program
and events proposals and 0 Chapter and affiliate proposals.
A wish can't be voted on or selected unless it's created during this
proposal phase--if you want to see a tool, a metric, or extension, now is
the time to propose it. And please share with every program leader you
know! More people means more and stronger proposals.
[Cross posting to wikimedia-ped, education, and affiliates--sorry if you
see this multiple times, but it's really important and we don't want to
leave anyone out!]
All the best,
Amanda

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] 2016 Community Wishlist Survey
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
The second annual Community Wishlist Survey starts today, and you're
invited to post proposals for projects that you'd like WMF's Community Tech
team to work on:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey
The Community Tech team builds features and makes changes that active
Wikimedia contributors want, and the Wishlist Survey sets the team's agenda
for the year.
The Wishlist Survey starts with a two-week proposal period, when
contributors from all Wikimedia projects are invited to post, discuss and
improve propsals. After that, there's a two-week voting period, when
everyone can post support-votes on the proposals that they think are
worthwhile. We end up with a ranked list of wishes, measured by the
participants' enthusiasm for each idea.
Community Tech is responsible for addressing the top 10 wishes on the list,
as well as some top wishes from smaller groups and projects that are doing
important work, but don't have the numbers to get their proposal into the
top 10. The Wishlist is also used by volunteer developers and other teams,
who want to find projects to work on that the community really wants.
So I hope that everybody comes and participates; it's an opportunity to set
the agenda for a Wikimedia Foundation product team.
We would also ask that you help us spread the word. Please do post on your
wikis and tell others this is happening, and that if they don't feel
comfortable writing in English, proposals are welcome in any language.

Jon,
At the October Metrics and Activities meeting, you asked for feedback
on the Related Articles feature. Please have a look at this:
http://i.imgur.com/2aujFL7.png
The Making Work Pay Tax Credit was a provision of the Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008; possibly the most effective
provision responsible for ending and reversing the recession. And
perhaps for that reason, Republicans in Congress refused to renew it
in 2010 during the same series of negotiations in which they refused
to advance the infrastructure bills which did not pass from 2010 until
this year. I believe that the Making Work Pay Tax Credit is fully in
line with the Foundation's Mission and stated public policy
objectives, and so I have recommended that the Foundation endorse it:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/publicpolicy/2016-September/001527.ht…
The FairTax is a flat tax which is considered very popular among
Libertarians and Objectivists. However, it has never had much
congressional support, likely because nearly all economists think it
would lead to ruin because it is so regressive. Libertarian
presidential candidate Gary Johnson recently became very upset when
asked by a British newspaper reporter about this subject:
https://youtu.be/vvULsrjLdI4?t=3m12s
Do you think FairTax is a useful related article to suggest to people
interested in the Making Work Pay Tax Credit?
To what extent does systemic bias towards fringe Libertarian and
Objectivist economics influence the Related Articles feature?

Fred and Craig,
Do you think a comparison of the effects of bias in individual
candidates' articles to the effects systemic bias towards trickle-down
austerity economics and the social implications thereof in light of
the WP:MEDRS-grade source at http://talknicer.com/ehip.pdf might
produce a helpful indication of where counter-advocacy efforts would
best be focused?
I'm un-crossposting this reply to just wiki-research-l and the
Education list because I've been told to not crosspost to more than
two lists.
