Some of us chatted on this subject at the tech portion of WMF's all-staff meetings today; while we didn't come to any firm conclusions at this time there's definitely a lot of interest in:
* improving 3rd-party support (installer, dependencies, various features) * getting existing people doing support and contracting more organized * improving distro packages and packaging support * getting big MW users/customizers to share code a bit more (real-world example: WMF and Wikia are collaborating on the visual editor project rather than working on separate incompatible versions)
I definitely want to keep the ideas and discussion flowing, especially from anybody who's already doing 3rd-party support and is interested in organizing a bit more. I've pointed people at the RFC page and hope for more good to come!
