_______________________________________________Is the community wishlist not for for projects run by volunteers? Volunteers do what they choose, employees do what they are paid for. Keeping the Wikis functional should be the work of employees and the WMF.

Instead of putting resources into making more tools, how about putting more resources into sustainability. For a large part of the last 12 months Commons has been unable to upload large files, bulk upload tools falling over have been hampering efforts to engage with GLAMs. Every other aspect of the WMF work has been put on hold while reviews into the systems take place. I think it's time to put new development on hold or at least limit priority and capacity then focus efforts on updating and upgrading existing tools. If those tools cant be fixed, rewrite them from scratch

The Community Wishlist Survey 2022 starts in less than two weeks (Monday 10 January 2022, 18:00 UTC). We, the team organizing the Survey, need your help.
- Translate important messages and/or
- Promote the Survey among anyone and everyone you know who has an account on wiki. Promote the Survey on social media, via instant messaging apps, in other groups and chats, in your WikiProject, Wikimedia affiliate - wherever contributors with registered accounts may be.
- You may also start thinking about ideas for technical improvements or even writing them down in the CWS sandbox.
Why are we asking?
We have improved the documentation. It's friendlier and easier to use. This will mean little if it's only in English.
- Thousands of volunteers haven't participated in the Survey yet. We'd like to improve that, too. Three years ago, 1387 people participated. Last year, there were 1773 of them. We hope that in the upcoming edition, there will be even more - if you help us with translations. Also, you are better than us in contacting Wikimedians outside of wikis. We have prepared some images to share. More to come.
What is the Community Wishlist Survey?
It's an annual survey that allows contributors to the Wikimedia projects to propose and vote for tools and platform improvements. Long years of experience in editing or technical skills are not required.
Thank you for your time and attention. To those who have participated in the Survey - many thanks for your dedication.
See you in January!
