Greetings,

As most of you know, we document WMF engineering activities on mediawiki.org using "activity pages", which is just a fancy word for pages that have an infobox. We can then list the activities in many places, like the Wikimedia Engineering portal ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering ) and the status dashboard ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/Dashboard )

Most of the activities are about a particular project, like "Phabricator migration" or "Flow". Multimedia is a bit awkward because it's about a team rather than the projects you guys work on.

It might have made sense previously (for example if the team was touching a lot of different pieces of Multimedia) but my understanding from the Wikimania workshops is that the Multimedia team plans to mostly focus on two main projects this fiscal year: UploadWizard and Structured Data.

Therefore, I'd like to recommend that we make those two projects actual "activities", with a dedicated infobox and status updates. Other, smaller multimedia-related bits like MediaViewer could still be in the catch-all "Multimedia" activity.

This wouldn't change anything for most of you; the only visible difference would be that you would report on UploadWizard and Structured Data on a different page. It would be more consistent with the rest of WMF engineering, and it would be easier for the rest of the community to follow your work on each project.

Unless there are strong objections to this proposal, I'm happy to add the infoboxes myself, but I wanted to ask here first :) Let me know if you have any questions.
