Hi Rexford,
What objectives would we achieve if we were to "revamp the MediaWiki system
from ground up"? Even if we pretend that we have infinite financial and
human resources to do this, I am not sure what we would accomplsh, and we
would likely introduce a lot of new reliability and security bugs.
Perhaps Maryana can give us an update about the Commons app, so I'm
pinging her.

@svetlana, I thought http is rather being strengthened

Internet of things all will better work with HTTP.
From your list of items, @pine, I will recommend, smart watches, AI, and
smart homes and buildings.
But why would Wikimedia wanna include the yet-to-well-surface technologies
when mere edit conflicts isn't solved on the Wiki?
The Wikipedia app is currently under good development and I think its doing
great.
Your question is worth considering, but in reality, I don't think Wikimedia
will be up to the task, even if one from your list is chosen.
Just pondering over how many months, if not years its taken to get the
Wikipedia app in shape, not to mention the Wikimedia commons app that's
seems to have been abandoned as it hardly enjoys updates, makes me wonder
if Wikimedia will ever finish a native application should they wanna even
try AI.
For me, if I should suggest what should be Wikimedia's biggest priority
today will be to revamp the MediaWiki system from ground up.

Following up on Lila's Wikimania keynote:
what platforms and devices
should
we have in mind when making decisions today or in
the near future about
Wikimedia content creation and delivery?
also think of something outside of web browser ?
and then also outside of http protocol ?
