Description

Based on this mini survery https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Melamrawy_%28WMF%29/Community_collaboration_best_practices, it will be great to come up with additional findings on how others work with their communities, and what can we learn.

Please help spread the google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1B7ECWxovNM9QA5RHDlx-polTXHdmAelGiHefoUkWTck/viewform?c=0&w=1

Update: Changed priority to low, not because it is less important, but because this is not currently very active. I need to change my outreach plans, and will appreciate any help here :)

Does "product decision making" refer to the initial concept phase of new products, their prioritization, their design, all of it...?

I'm trying to understand how your research can contribute to a better WMF product development process.

• Moushira added a comment.Jan 18 2016, 2:26 PM

Yes, @Qgil, initial concept preparation, how products develop, feedback loops, etc.

Assuming this task is waiting for further input and can currently not be acted on (="stalled" status), what further input is needed and from who?

• Moushira added a comment.Mar 7 2016, 4:45 PM

I marked it as stalled, because I am not actively working on it. It needs further help with outreach to get the survey to reach to the right audience. Is this status confusing? :)

I think we need to decide whether plan this survey properly in coordination with our #wmf-product-development-process efforts or decline this task, allowing ourselves to reopen it in the future.

I will move this task tentatively to the next quarter, which should server as a comfortable time frame for a decision.
