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>
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
