[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/Programs_and_events [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!
