[Forwarding to the Education and PE&D lists]
Hello all,
As you may know, this year the Community Tech team at the Wikimedia
Foundation hosted a new Community Wishlist Survey. During the proposal
phase, participants could submit proposals for features and fixes they’d
like the team to work on.
Now Phase 2 begins: time to vote! We know program leaders have many wishes
for program tools that can better support the implementation of
edit-a-thons, editing workshops, photo competitions, GLAM initiatives,
education programs, conferences and many more programs that are designed
every year. You can find those wishes at the Program and Events wishes page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/P…>
[1],
and vote for them! A few highlights are:
* Make finding and sharing documentation much easier
* Tool to post barnstars after large scale meetups
* Article tracking tool for Wikiprojects, edit-a-thons and other campaigns,
based on Wikidata
* Enable on-wiki lift for account creation limit at a specific IP range
* and more!
The voting phase goes from today, November 28, to December 12. Please make
sure to vote, pass this message on to your community, and encourage others
to vote, too!
After the voting phase, Community Tech plans to allocate 75% of the
wishlist work to the top 10 wishes, and 25% to proposals important to
smaller groups. This will include campaign and program organizers and GLAM
participants, among others. So, voting is important, even if you don't
think you'll get into the top 10!
Please do reach out to me if you have any questions about the voting
process.
Best,
Amanda

Hi everyone,
The voting has started on the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey, and all
Wikimedia contributors are invited to come and vote on the projects that
WMF's Community Tech team will work on next year:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey
There are 267 proposals this year, on a wide range of subjects that I'm
pretty sure you have an opinion about.
You've got two weeks to vote, from now through December 12th. You can vote
for as many proposals as you like, by adding a {{support}} tag under the
proposals that you think are worthwhile.
Once the voting's over, we'll have a ranked list of projects for the
Community Tech team to work on, as well as other developers and volunteers
who want to build features and make changes that the core contributors
really want.
This is an opportunity for you to help set the agenda for a WMF product
team, so I hope everybody comes and participates!
Danny Horn
WMF Product Manager

Hello all,
Please see this year's Community Wishlist announcement below. This year,
"Programs and events" and "Chapters and affiliates" are special categories
that will be considered outside the top 10 wishes.
"After the voting phase, when we have the prioritized backlog, we plan to
> allocate 75% of our wishlist work to the top 10 wishes, and 25% to
> proposals important to smaller groups....So – yes, please come and post
> your proposals, even if you don't think you'll get into the top 10!" [1]
The proposal phase lasts until Nov 20th--this is the time to propose *and
refine* proposals. Check back often and collaborate with your program and
affiliate peers to craft the best proposals. So far, there are 3 Program
and events proposals and 0 Chapter and affiliate proposals.
A wish can't be voted on or selected unless it's created during this
proposal phase--if you want to see a tool, a metric, or extension, now is
the time to propose it. And please share with every program leader you
know! More people means more and stronger proposals.
[Cross posting to wikimedia-ped, education, and affiliates--sorry if you
see this multiple times, but it's really important and we don't want to
leave anyone out!]
All the best,
Amanda and María

Hi everyone,
The second annual Community Wishlist Survey starts today, and you're
invited to post proposals for projects that you'd like WMF's Community Tech
team to work on:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey
The Community Tech team builds features and makes changes that active
Wikimedia contributors want, and the Wishlist Survey sets the team's agenda
for the year.
The Wishlist Survey starts with a two-week proposal period, when
contributors from all Wikimedia projects are invited to post, discuss and
improve propsals. After that, there's a two-week voting period, when
everyone can post support-votes on the proposals that they think are
worthwhile. We end up with a ranked list of wishes, measured by the
participants' enthusiasm for each idea.
Community Tech is responsible for addressing the top 10 wishes on the list,
as well as some top wishes from smaller groups and projects that are doing
important work, but don't have the numbers to get their proposal into the
top 10. The Wishlist is also used by volunteer developers and other teams,
who want to find projects to work on that the community really wants.
So I hope that everybody comes and participates; it's an opportunity to set
the agenda for a Wikimedia Foundation product team.
We would also ask that you help us spread the word. Please do post on your
wikis and tell others this is happening, and that if they don't feel
comfortable writing in English, proposals are welcome in any language.
