Hey all,
thanks for the great feedback. A couple of notes to expand on Jonathan's
response.

Aaron: I'll ask Baha about the issue tracking...
*issue* today. The code
is hosted on Gerrit now, with a one-way mirror on this GitHub repo[1],
which is not ideal from an openness/collaboration POV. For me, enabling
easy issue tracking and pull requests is the most pressing issue. In the
meantime, you can submit tasks through Phab. Add them to the Research
board[2] and/or as subtasks of our Landing Page creation epic[3]. Not
ideal, but at least you can capture things this way.
this is far from optimal. Due to production requirements, all code needs to
be on Gerrit, but asking people who want to suggest typo fixed to go
through the developer access instructions is a usability nightmare.
Jonathan's suggestion is a temporary solution, I'd like to work with Baha
to figure out if there's a possible workflow that allows us to receive PRs
and issues on GitHub, have them synced with Gerrit, before they are
reviewed and, if +2'ed, merged there. This may take a while so we
appreciate your patience.
Federico: Translation via translatewiki would be very
cool. We haven't
prioritized this because, well, none of our on-wiki research team pages
were ever translated, and this microsite is intended to supplement our
on-wiki content, not replace it. But it sounds like a potential 'roadmap'
kinda deal and I'll make sure to track it.
<what Jonathan said>
Our assumption was that the place for volunteer communities to find
translated content is (and should be) on wiki, and we can tap all the
existing workflows for translation there as needed. The main audiences for
this landing page are (primarily English speaking) funding and research
organizations who don't know how to navigate content across 4+ wikis and a
number of external data / publication repositories. I support the idea of
translations, if we can make it work and if there's appetite for it, the
minimum viable content was intentionally conceived to be in English.
Iolanda: this is the landing page for the Wikimedia Foundation Research
team[4], not for the international community of
researchers who study
Wiki[*]edia. It's also not the landing page for all researchers and
research activities within the Wikimedia Foundation--just those of team
members (and Aaron, whose Scoring Platform team is a kind of spin
off/sibling of the research team).
As an additional clarification: the Research Index on Meta remains the
central hub of all research projects created by the volunteer community,
academic researchers, and Wikimedia Foundation staff. This landing page
acts as a filter, and a thin layer of discoverability, to the contributions
made by the Wikimedia Research team to the Research Index (as well as
additional documentation that may exist across other wikis). Hope that
makes sense.
Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. Keep it
coming,
Jonathan

Hey folks, I see you're using github[1], but
you've disabled the issue
tracker there. Where should I submit bug reports and feature requests?
Maybe you could add a link next to "source code" at the bottom of the
page.
