Hi everyone,
The important part of this email is this link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Status_report...
This is the second Community Wishlist Survey status report. In November and December, active contributors to Wikimedia projects proposed, discussed and voted on the features and fixes that they most want to see. The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team has been tasked with working on these. Additionally, Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team has been working on wishes from the German-speaking community. There's overlap between the two wishlists, and the teams are collaborating on various wishes, so this report includes progress made by both teams as well as great work being done by volunteer developers and other WMF staff.
So far, we (in the broad sense) have added support for:
*) Migrating dead external links to archives (but there's more work to be done!) *) Pageview stats *) Global notifications *) A category watchlist
We're currently working on:
*) Improving the plagiarism detection bot *) Improving the diff compare screen *) Numerical sorting in categories *) The possibility to add an expiry date to watchlist items *) A revision slider to help editors navigate through diff pages
For more information on these projects as well as upcoming tasks, see the full status report on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Status_report...
We're looking forward to talking and working with you as we go along.
Thanks,
//Johan Jönsson User:Johan (WMF) --
Thanks Johan for the update. The teams are working on a lot of important projects and have a mountain of requests ahead of them. Hopefully we will see the Community Tech team grow in size this coming year :-)

Hi James -- the Community Tech team is growing! We just added another developer and we have another position in the Annual Plan. Agreed -that it's been really great watching this team grow and partner with the German chapter as well as other community members.
