Hi everyone, here's what the Community Tech team's been up to lately.
* Community Wishlist Survey: we've been running this survey to identify the most important features and fixes to work on in 2016; you might have heard about it because we've been spamming mailing lists and village pumps. If you haven't checked it out yet -- the voting phase ends on Monday, please come and vote for the proposals you want to support! There are a lot of proposals, and many of them are awesome. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey
* Gadgets 2.0: A new Gadget Manager has been in the works for a long time, to replace Mediawiki:Gadgets-definition as the interface for managing gadgets on a wiki. Community Tech is helping to complete the feature -- in November, we created new Gadget and Gadget_definition namespaces and content models, and we're currently working on the Gadget Manager itself. For more info: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadgets_2.0 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T31272.
* GadgetUsage: We made some improvements to the Special:GadgetUsage report, filtering out removed gadgets and adding a recently active users count. You can see the improved report at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:GadgetUsage, and it'll roll out to more projects next week.
* Citation bot: We've been working on getting Citation bot into shape; check out https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108412 for more.
In December, we've got more work coming up on Gadget Manager, Citation bot and storing WikiProject article assessment metadata. Plus come and vote in the Wishlist Survey so that we have interesting things to work on in January. Thank you and good night.
