Day. Could it be an activity helping to fish these microtasks?
I'm in. Are you guys going to do this over Google Hangout?
I want to keep this list fairly manageable though, so we should pick only the most important things to put in there.
I'd love to have more criteria how I myself could realize that I am looking at such a microtask when I'm reading and triaging Bugzilla tickets, in order to notify Dan about good candidates. Probably the feeling that it's a narrow scope, that a developer has already described what's the way forward, but that's it's not an entirely trivial problem?
If I get it correctly, "Platform product microtasks" are not for beginners (hence not a subgroup of Bugzilla's "easy" keyword defined as "Self-contained, non-controversial issues with a clear approach which are recommended to try for new developers") but developers who have already contributed some patches to MediaWiki, hence could be the "next level" after "easy" tasks have gotten too easy for somebody?
Except for product scope, what are the differences to the use of "papercut" in the Bugzilla whiteboard entry by the Wikidata team? See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Paper_cuts
