No goal related to our annual plans on #community-wishlist-survey (Program 8)? Program 7 is covered in the goals proposed.

I think that's just "Regular workflows" now.
Although we could repeat "A plan for the top ten Community Wishlist tasks driven by volunteers" with another 10?
I'm also considering this as a personal goal: T136866: Improve the per-programming-language listings for our tools

I'd rather focus deeper on the 10 tasks we commit to in this quarter rather than trying to embrace too much by adding 10 more... I don't know, what do you (plural) think?

In any case, if there is no clear goal for the CW in this quarter, then there is no need to force one.

I took the VE task (T96500) out of my goals, because it doesn't relate directly with Editing's goals for this Q as far as I understand them, and since I haven't been able to figure out what the plans are for further rollouts, I _will_ keep it as something I work on (obviously), but I don't want to commit to a quarterly goal.

My goals:

I'm lowering the previous ones, due to a lack of time. I prefer to focus on daily work about products that have an important community input instead of more theoretical (but still important) tasks.

I'm still watching your work and supporting you, guys.

The team quarterly goals have been decided. Some documentation is still pending.

Individual goals are being discussed, some team members are all set while others are still thinking about the best choices.

We are in a good pace to complete the selection and documentation of these goals by the end of this month.

Aklapper updated the task description. (Show Details)

We have agreed our team goals on time, but there is still some more work to do with individual goals. I hope we can complete the list of individual goals by the end of Thursday, July 7.

Update on individual goals:

Johan updated the task description. (Show Details)

I've updated my goals:

There are still a couple of people that need to document here the goals agreed in 1:1 conversations (last week). I am hoping to see the list of individual goals completed by the end of this week. We can blame Summer vacation for the delay.

Individual goals finally defined by all team members. The review of this quarter will happen at some point in October.

I have done the bulk of the homework. I still have to react to feedback and, of course, deliver the review (dry run and the real one).

Both the dry run and the quarterly review went in my opinion well, in terms of delivering a concise message about our activities, our motivation behind them, the outcomes, and a glimpse of how these achievements in the previous quarter are continuing in this quarter. I didn't get any questions in the quarterly review, which might mean that everything was very clear or something different...

I will close this task as soon as the quarterly review slides have been published.
