The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020 is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on November 11, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. To submit proposals, you can check out the guidelines on the survey page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#Guidelines. This year, we’ll only be accepting wishes for non-Wikipedia content projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). To learn more about the new format, we invite you to visit the survey page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#New_format_for_2020_Survey. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!
The additional exclusion of Commons and Wikidata was not previously announced. In fact, the previous statement excluding Wikipedias explicitly stated that wishlist items from Commons and Wikidata would still be accepted.
Could you explain the reason for this change and why it wasn't communicated earlier?

Furthermore, requests that "generally target all wikis" are also now excluded. Does that mean that requests relating to the work of stewards and global sysops, who do much of the work on small wikis, are also excluded?

Hello, there! Most of your questions are answered on the survey page[1][2]. The first announcement[3] was an invitation for feedback on the new format. On October 17, the official decision was made[4] on what projects to serve, and the position has not changed since. We posted the update on Meta-Wiki, although we did not update this mailing list (and, for that, we apologize). This thread was initiated to announce that the proposal phase has begun.
Stewards and global sysops do help out smaller wikis, Yet, if we were to permit global wishes, they would again dominate the survey and undermine our goal of answering to the smaller communities, who, up until now, had little chance of getting something out of the survey. WMF also has some dedicated resources for stewards, as is the case with Commons and Wikidata. We wanted to fill in the gaps in cases where no resources exist. We hope you understand why this decision was made, and keep in mind this format is an experiment and next year we'll likely return to the broader community.
