try out any features related to structured user pages, projects, events,
etc. when you're ready for that.
Thank you very much! All the input received this week has been very
useful to bring the proposal to a new level.
CHANGES
This will be an experiment on a side, not touching
mediawiki.org.
* No content migration.
* No change in current workflows.
We are flexible with the development priorities.
* The sequence at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Wikitech_contributors#De…
is flexible.
* Speak up! (in the discussion page, please)
Prototyping one small feature at a time.
* Defining the problems we want to solve beforehand.
* Evaluating the results before building more features on top.
Community evaluation based on results and lessons learned.
* This experiment will propose changes to
mediawiki.org only if/when
clearly positive results can be demonstrated.
Hopefully this addresses the majority of concerns.
I'm also glad to see that the discussion is moving onto details at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Wikitech_contributo…
PS: Let me also say something. Even if the taste of this thread has been
mostly negative, the individual feedback gathered from many people in
the past weeks has been very different. Many have welcomed the idea and
asked how to help. Some have been cautious, but curious and willing to
see the proposal moving forward. Steven's quote at the top of this email
made my day. :)
