Rob, Quim and Wikidatans,
Is there a current (curated) summary of all the good suggestions for
WikiDev themes, and structuring of conference, in various email threads
from the past week or two which you could possibly suggest looking at as
key organizers of this? (I shared some Wikimedia
language-ontology-translation related questions along with WUaS development
questions, like in January 2016, I'd like to explore in the
#wikimedia-office Office Hour this morning at 9am PST ).
Thank you.
Bests, Scott

I'm hoping we find a way to work with people
who can't
travel, and noting we're also working to make remote participation
more rewarding. This emphasizes the importance of WikiDev17 being a
better event for online attendance this year, and the primacy of
online conversations in our community's decision making.
Indeed. Anyone interested in improving remote participation in the Summit,
please check

Quim is
chairing the program committee, and I'm one
of the members, but my
understanding from Quim is that we're still waiting for some invitees
to respond.
Yes, I will send them a reminder. In any case, I think we have critical
mass:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/About
all of the scheduled topics had Phab IDs
associated with them.
I agree that RfCs are useful in some cases but not in all of them. However,
I would still keep a single way to submit proposals as Phabricator tasks,
in order to have one place with all the proposals. If the promoters of a
specific proposal want to have the discussion elsewhere (in an RfC page, a
plain wiki page...) then they can simply put a disclaimer in the task
description and move the discussion there.
There are two possible novelties related to proposed and scheduled
activities that we could try at the Summit:
* Phabricator form to submit Wikimedia developer Summit 2017 proposals
(urgent because it blocks the opening of the call for participation)
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146377
* Consider using Phabricator Calendar events to schedule Wikimedia
Developer Summit sessions (we have more time for this one)
