Scott suggested the following as one of three suggested topic ideas for WikiDev17. The three ideas: 1) Collaboration 2) Wikitext Maintenance 3) Machine Translation
More inline about "1) Collaboration" below:

*1. *(A unified vision for) *Collaboration*
- Real-time collaboration (not just editing, but chatting, curation,
patrolling)
- WikiProject enhancements: User groups, finding people to work with,
making these first class DB concepts
- Civility/diversity/inclusiveness, mechanisms to handle/prevent
harassment, vandalism, trolling while working together
- Real-time reading -- watching edits occur in real time
- Integration with WikiEdu
- Broadening notion of "an edit" in DB -- multiple contributors,
possibly multiple levels of granularity
- Tip-toeing toward "draft"/"merge" models of editing
- Better diff tools: refreshed non-wikitext UX, timelines, authorship
maps, etc.
I've copied this wholesale into the "Collaboration" area on [[WikiDev17/Topic ideas]], and quoted it directly here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tbypptt9myumu7q7
Let's use this thread to focus on this part of Scott's proposal. A lot of these seems in scope for the Wikimedia Collaboration team. Does the scope that you're thinking of align with what the team has published on their page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Collaboration
Rob (p.s. please feel free to start separate threads with the other parts of Scott's proposal)
