Yesterday @Spage asked whether this roadmap should be here in Phabricator or on-wiki. After thinking a bit more, it is probably easier to start here, in the description of this task. It's the simplest setup, it already implies having to sync once between the content of this roadmap and the quarterly goals, but just once. If we just to on-wiki already, we will need to keep an additional place in sync.

Since this is an experiment, let's start here and we'll see. Agreed?

I think this roadmap is ready as far as it gets for the ECT-June-2015 objective. If you have urgent ideas for it, please bring them on. Otherwise let's chage to work-in-progress mode.

The #engineering-community workboard was suboptimal, with columns redundant to the monthly sprints. Now I have added columns for each quarter, as a way to help visualizing the roadmap there.

Let's see how it goes. Keeping it up to date requires certain redundancy, and there is a risk of having things out of sync. The benefit is that tasks planned for a quarter will show the little piece of info in their headers.

I'm thinking that keeping this Roadmap task brings manual overhead and a remarkable amount of duplication with the Developer-Advocacy workboard, which is now organized by quarters and I find that very practical.

What should be done to deprecate this roadmap task and rely only on the workboard:

  • Create new tasks for events that we are expecting, even if they are far away, i.e. "Organize Wikimania Hackathon 2016".
  • Prioritize better the tasks in the current and the following quarter, because in these columns it is difficult to see what is more important. The rest of quarters in the more distant future have just a few tasks, so this is not a problem.

@Aklapper @Rfarrand @Spage what do you think?

Yes please. If we can turn every item into a dedicated task but I think we can.
There is the "Backlog" column for far away stuff, and if we wanted we could also have a far-away non-quarterly columns like "year 2017" as we can always hide columns when breaking stuff down into quarters as 2017 approaches.

This road-map task is being closed in favor of the Developer-Advocacy workboard and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Relations/Planning#Roadmap

The only relevant items without a task are:

Proposed: If nobody has committed to organize a community backlog, then we should step in (in the context of T78639)

This task will be lead by Community-Tech -- see T114193: Administer 2015 Community Wishlist Survey (tracking) and followup.

integration of presentations recorded (events, Tech Talks...), slides, and other materials with Web-APIs-Hub

I have added a point in the agenda of the DevRel weekly meeting to discuss what to do with this idea.

All the rest either has a task or is a predictable event. Closing, and thank you for your attention. :)
