That's right! At the Wikimedia Developer Summit we decided to organize a Developer Wishlist Survey, and here we go:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist
The Wikimedia technical community seeks input from developers for developers, to create a high-profile list of desired improvements. The scope of the survey includes the MediaWiki platform (core software, APIs, developer environment, enablers for extensions, gadgets, templates, bots, dumps), the Wikimedia server infrastructure, the contribution process, and documentation.
The best part: we want to have the results published by Wednesday, February 15. Yes, in a month, in order to have a higher chance to influence the Wikimedia Foundation annual plan FY 2017-18.
There's no time to lose. *Propose your ideas before the end of January,* either pushing existing tasks in Phabricator or creating new ones. You can find instructions in the wiki page. Questions and feedback are especially welcome in the related Talk page.
The voting phase is expected to start on February 6 (tentative). What this space (or even better, the wiki page).
