Hi all,
voting for the Developer Wishlist [1] has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated! And extra thanks to everyone who helped. [2] You can find the the results, with links to the full proposals, at:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Community_Tech_bot/WishlistSurvey/Votes
As you might have read on the wishlist page, this is a primarily-volunteer run experiment. It can only be successful with your help! [3] If you can afford the time, please look through the highly-voted propsals and see if you can find something you would be interested to work on. I also invite everyone to participate in these three follow-up tasks:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158148 - promote wishlist proposals https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158149 - find owners for the top10 proposals https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158150 - post-mortem
thanks Gergő

Thank *you* very much, Gergő! The first wish of the Developer Wishlist was to have a Developer Wishlist in the first place. You proposed, promoted, engaged with others, and worked a damn lot. You made it!
Now it's the turn for the rest of us. I am going to ask the Foundation's technical management to have this wishlist in mind in the annual plan discussion that are happening right now. I will discuss with my team which wishes we could / should commit to.

Would it be possible to also get these ranked such that they exclude WMF staff?
I'd be interested to see how the priorities change. I'm interested specifically in what pain points newcomers to our code might experience.

I could have the bot do another pass excluding accounts with (WMF) in the name, but several us (myself included) !voted with our personal accounts.

We discussed running the wishlist in a more survey-like way (use Google Forms, ask a bunch of demographics/experience questions) but that would have been more complex to set up and we did not have the bandwidth.
I have an old vote analysis project [1] that I could dust off but I'm not sure how well (lack of) wiki activity correlates with being a newcomer, and we don't really have any other indicators. (In theory Phabricator could be used to link wiki and gerrit identity, but that data is probably not public.)

There is an API that can be used to lookup a Phabricator account based on a Wikimedia username (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conduit/method/user.mediawikiquery/). We built this for use by https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/ (Striker).
