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.

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 everyone,
The important part of this email is this link:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Status_repor…
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_repor…
We're looking forward to talking and working with you as we go along.
Thanks,
//Johan Jönsson
