Hi Chris,
I wonder if we can use Phabricator as an incubator for IdeaLab proposals? We already have the #possible-tech-projects tag in Phabricator [1], which seems like a sensible place to discuss the ideas amongst the people who have ideas in this area.
I know there is some cynicism about the upcoming Wikimedia Developer Summit in January, because it seems like a great opportunity to talk about what we want, but then not have a strategy for getting it done. That seems justified, since "resourcing" seems a constant refrain in these conversations. Would anyone from IdeaLab be available to be at WikiDev '16, looking out for appropriate opportunities to get from ideas to IdeaLab(tm) grant proposals?

Hey everyone,
I've recently initiated a consultation to help decide on topics for IdeaLab campaigns for the future, and I'm very interested in your input on what technical issues, gaps, or general features we could consider focusing our attention upon. These campaigns can generate novel proposals for tools and improvements to address needs in the Wikimedia projects to which you contribute:

You can offer feedback and add your own campaign topics through a survey conducted through AllOurIdeas < http://www.allourideas.org/idealab_campaigns%3E in addition to participating on the IdeaLab talk page.
I’m looking forward to seeing your feedback and exploring potential directions we can take IdeaLab campaigns starting next year.
Take care,
Jethro
