Hello everybody!
For the past couple months, Joel Aufrecht and I have been working on a project to document and improve the VisualEditor team's processes; we just published a draft of our report https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/2015_Process_Review on mediawiki.org. If you're interested, please read it over and, of course, shout at us on the talk page if we wrote anything stupid.
In addition to the team's significant strengths, we identified three major challenges we'd like to work on:
- Consulting stakeholders like Analytics and Design Research often have
trouble engaging with VE’s development.
- The process for early-stage requirements and design decision-making is
informal and incomplete.
- The team has a high reporting load which may no longer be justified.
Next week, we'll start to expand the report with some proposed solutions (suggestions welcome!)
Have a good weekend! ————— Neil P.
