Very coherent perspective, Scott. Thinking the process through from an end-to-end user experience perspective and making that explicit seems like the right direction to me.
I also agree that it is a good sign that the WMF is dedicating resources to something that our communities have wanted us to do for awhile now.
I remember listening to Jimmy on stage in London for the Closing Ceremony at Wikimania https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/en_masse a couple of years ago talk about how we needed to work on these issues. It starts at about the 5 minute mark. I remember he received genuine applause. Far from a bureaucratic process, this code strikes me as a healthy boundary.
A brief reminder to subscribe/comment/award token at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149665 to encourage discussion of this, from an end-to-end UX perspective, at the developer summit in January. (This plug was on the previous thread; I'm just repeating it here on Pine's forked thread.) --scott
(The parent topic, "Building a sustainable user experience together" was closed as a main topic at the dev summit due to lack of interest, but "[s]pecific session proposals still might be pre-scheduled, based on their own merit." So a bit of lobbying on behalf of this particular proposal seems worthwhile to ensure it gets a slot and broader attention.)
