Greetings, and apologies for cross posting:

The community liaisons at the Wikimedia Foundation held a roundtable discussion at Wikimania [1] in order to gather feedback around participation in product development. The notes are now up.[2] We welcome input from everyone, whether you were unable to join us at Wikimania, or whether you did attend and want to further engage in conversation.

Some major themes from this session were that places to give feedback are confusing and unclear, there is little to no understanding of product/engineering prioritization, and there were requests to involve and include communities more.

The goal of this roundtable was not to get a wishlist of products and features, but to identify problems and successes around product development so that the WMF and communities can collaborate in better ways. This is an ongoing conversation, and we invite your participation here [3].

Thank you so much,

Rachel
