Hello Everyone,
I am writing to share with you an effort from the Android team to
start identifying
themes of products
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Readers_contributions> [0] that
would allow readers to create micro-contributions that are welcomed and
actually needed by fellow Wikipedia editors.
The team has already identified 18 ideas as examples of tasks readers can
do to help editors, we would like to expand the conversation to help us
evaluate the importance of the idea*s*. While thinking, the team already
had criteria for evaluating the ideas
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Readers_contributions/Reading_team_thoughts>,
but this is still missing community input on how ideas are evaluated and
what would actually get high votes for being something that matters, in
order for the team to start working on. Please feel encouraged to add
more ideas and adjust criteria for evaluation if needed.
This work is a continuation of the reading consultation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_Interaction_Consultation> earlier done
in April. The team is excited to continue the conversation early with the
community in order to define product themes.
Ideas promoted from this conversation will be designed in Android first,
given the consideration of lower traffic and relative ease of
implementation, but the team will be excited and watching for lessons
learned in order to move ideas to the web.
This work is made possible by Jon Katz, Reading team's senior PM, and
Dmitry Brant, the product owner of Android. Thanks for their thoughtful
and collaborative approach".
We will allow the conversation to run for a month, after which we can
already start exploring ideas for implementation in Q3. Please help spread
the word across village pumps.
Looking forward to your input --
Best,
Moushira
Community Liaison for Reading team
