Hi everyone,
Last year, the Community Tech team did a survey for a community wishlist to decide what we shoudl be working on throughout the year. Since it's useful to have a list of tasks from the Wikimedia communities, it's also been used by other developers, been the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and so on. In short, I think it matters.
Now we're doing the process again.

If you'd feel like spreading this in your communities, it would be much appreciated.
*) This is when you can suggest things. This phase will last from 7 November to 20 November. *) Editors who are not comfortable writing in English can write proposals in their language. *) Voting will take place 28 November to 12 December.
Thanks,
//Johan Jönsson --
Hi Johan,
One question, how will the top ideas be selected? Top ten globaly? Or top of each category?
I can imagine that some categories might attract less number of votes, but they might be worth pursuing anyway.
Regards, Micru

Hi David,
Top ten in total is the main focus. However, this would in the long run mean that the big projects (the Wikipedias, Commons) would dominate every year, whereas something that would have a very big impact on a smaller project would never be in the top ten. In order to balance this, the Community Tech team plans to spend roughly 75% of its time on the top ten wishes, and 25% on wishes related to smaller groups ("This will include campaign and program organizers, GLAM participants, smaller projects like Wikisource and Wiktionary, and stewards and CheckUsers".) Additionally, while the Community Tech team is mainly doing this as a way to let the communities decide what they should work on, we saw in 2015 that it's been used by other developers. You can look through the status column on this page to see what's been happening with those requests: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results
If we were to pick the top of each category, I think we'd have had to think about the categories more in beforehand. As it is now, they're a tool to make it easier to get an overview of the proposals, and have actually changed during the survey as we've seen what's been popular and what hasn't.
TL;DR: Top ten, but yes, other wishes might be worth pursuing anyway, we're trying to see if we can do something about it.
