Yeah I was there and enjoyed it, thanks again Rob and Quim. There were many good discussions that help us align and structure the thinking. It takes a lot of thought, data and discussion to know what to build, before you make the commitment to build it. At the dev summit many of the teams that influence budget allocation (Ideally a participatory process, not management alone) participated and are active in proposals. The review and cross team discussions on efforts like the Community Wishlist, Dev Summit Proposals and ArchCom are considered by teams on a regular basis and then put into the planning of where resources align.
Thanks Wes.
I just want to add (I swear I'm done now) that I think that is the right approach, generally: Constant assessment by/from WMF "management" on what to prioritize/staff based on input from all sources (comm wishlist, devsummit, archcom, etc). In reality, it's the only thing that makes sense ("Listen to all input, discuss options, decide.").
