Hi!
I'd like to welcome you to join us at the CREDIT showcase next week,
Wednesday, 1-March-2017 at 1900 UTC / 1100 Pacific Time. We'd like to see
your demos, whether they're rough works in progress or polished production
material, or even just a telling of something you've been studying
recently. For more information on the upcoming event, as well as recordings
of previous events, please visit the following page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase
And if you'd like to share the news about the upcoming CREDIT showcase,
here's some suggested verbiage. Thanks! -Adam
*Hi <FNAME>*
*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a
monthly demo series that we’re running to showcase open source tech
projects from Wikimedia’s Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery,
Infrastructure and Technology teams. *
*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The
next CREDIT will be held on March 1st at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 19:00 UTC. *
*There’s more info on MediaWiki
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase>, and on Etherpad
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT>, which is where we take notes and
ask questions. You can also ask questions on IRC in the Freenode chatroom
#wikimedia-office (web-based access here
<https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23wikimedia-office>). Links to
video will become available at these locations shortly before the event.*
*Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested folks.
Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks
working across the open source tech community: language detection,
numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other
things.*
*If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks, and I hope to see
you at CREDIT.*

Hello,
Almost two weeks ago, the Technical Collaboration team invited proposals
for the first edition of the Developer Wishlist survey!
We collected around 77 proposals that were marked as suitable for the
developer wishlist and met the defined scope and criteria
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist#Scope>. These proposals
fall into the following nine categories: Frontend, Backend, Code
Contribution (Process, Guidelines), Extensions, Technical Debt, Developer
Environment, Documentation, Tools (Phabricator, Gerrit) and Community
Engagement.
Voting phase starts now and will run until *February 14th, 23:59 UTC*. Click
here on a category and show support for the proposals you care for most
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist>. Use the 'Vote' and
'Endorse' buttons next to a proposal to do so.
*What happens next?*Proposals that will gather most votes will be included
in the final results which will be published on *Wednesday, February 15th*.
These proposals will also be considered in the Wikimedia Foundation’s
annual plan FY 2017-18.
Cheers,
Srishti
