That's right! At the Wikimedia Developer Summit, we decided to organize a Developer Wishlist Survey, and here we go:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist
The Wikimedia technical community seeks input from developers for developers, to create a high-profile list of desired improvements. The scope of the survey includes the MediaWiki platform (core software, APIs, developer environment, enablers for extensions, gadgets, templates, bots, dumps), the Wikimedia server infrastructure, the contribution process, and documentation.
The best part: we want to have the results published by Wednesday, February 15. Yes, in a month, to have a higher chance to influence the Wikimedia Foundation annual plan FY 2017-18.
There's no time to lose. *Propose your ideas before the end of January, * either by pushing existing tasks in Phabricator or by creating new ones. You can find instructions on the wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist. Questions and feedback are welcome especially on the related Talk page.
The voting phase is expected to start on February 6 (tentative). Watch this space (or even better, the wiki page).
Cheers, Srishti Sethi Developer Advocate, Technical Collaboration team Wikimedia Foundation
Remember, the deadline for proposing developer wishes is TODAY, January 31 at 23:59 UTC https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20170131T235959&p1=1440 .
The Developer Wishlist voting phase is planned to start next Monday, February 6.
