The Engineering Community Team has some draft goals for what we'd like
to achieve in the next 12 months. We'll still be running Bugzilla,
putting out the monthly report, running GSoC and OPW, and doing those
other continuous tasks (as you can follow at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Platform_Engineering#Engineering_C…
). But what else should we be concentrating on? This is a draft of
what we'd like to focus on, quarter by quarter.

I welcome your comments here or on the talk page.
Back in April, Quim made a proposal on this list for a plan to attract
new contributors that included a "deeper restructuring of our community
spaces", including a reshuffling/repurposing of
wikitech/mediawiki.org.
I think the outcome of that discussion was to run an experiment and
reevaluate, but I might have lost track -- the Wikitech contributors
RFC[1] shows no real updates since April though.
A deeper restructuring sounds like goal material. Is this under
consideration for the coming year?
Personally, I'd love to see some movement in the wikitech/mediawiki
split, I think it becomes increasingly important the further we invest
into projects such as Wikimedia Labs/Tool Labs and bridging the gap
between operations and software development.
Thanks,
Faidon
