[Wikitech-l] Prioritizing Phabricator improvements (was Re: Proposal to invest in Phabricator Calendar)

After a first wave of feedback it is clear that we have two different discussions that need solving: 1. If we use WMF Technical Collaboration budget for Phabricator improvements, should we invest it the Calendar application? This is a well framed discussion with a clear deadline for decisions (very soon, or our FY2015-16 budget will be gone). I have created a task to discuss this specifically: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135327 2. If we want to improve the announcement and promotion of Wikimedia tech events, is the best first step to improve Phabricator Calendar? This is a complex discussion with many ramifications that we can keep discussing at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T1035 On Sat, May 14, 2016 at 3:06 AM, Legoktm <legoktm.wikipedia(a)gmail.com> wrote: Agreed. If I am proposing improvements around Calendar is because our team believes that we have a problem affecting the announcement and promotion of technical activities beyond the circle of usual and core contributors. By improving this area, we believe we could reach better to more casual technical contributors in our movement, and reach out better to new contributors out there. Agreed. This one is being funded already. Good, I wasn't aware. Is there a task in Wikimedia Phabricator reflecting the level of need, support, consensus? Feel free to propose it as suggested in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135327 I think https://secure.phabricator.com/T10926 reflects the essence of the improvements requested after the Phabricator UX update. It looks like the discussion so far is more about agreement on UX problems/solutions than complexity of the solution once agreed, but if there is room for funded prioritization, that also looks like a good candidate for a proposal.
