We would like to create a Phabricator Project for the technical requests that come out of community surveys, for example, the All-Our-Ideas surveys and the upcoming cross-wiki survey that will be conducted by the Community Tech department. Although most of these requests will be worked on by Community-Tech team, some of them will be routed to other teams, but we still want to be able to track them all on one board (similar to the German-Community-Wishlist board). It should be a publicly viewable project. If you need to set certain users to be able to administer it, please include myself, @Fhocutt, and @NiharikaKohli.

Seems easy enough. We just need:
- Name
- Description
- Type of project
- Policy (only if different from the default)
per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects#New_projects

Needs to have an extremely clear description and proper links explaining the process how items land in that project and who to add them. Otherwise anybody might add the Community-Wishlist project to tasks they personally consider important.

Then when, where and how do you propose to engage with them? I refer of course to the design and implementation of the process, not its day-to-day operation.

This task is about the creation of a Phabricator project / tag for "Community-Wishlist", which is a step in the design and implementation of this process.
I agree with @Aklapper that the description of this project and its maintenance need to be very clear to avoid a flood of potentially related tasks. Being this selection and prioritization a core task of the Community-Tech team, I have no doubt that it will be well maintained.

Temporarily assigning to @kaldari to clarify the project description. Please unassign once done.

I have a draft document for the project written up. I'm just waiting to get sign-off on it. Once that happens, it will be posted on-wiki for community feedback. I'll let you guys know as soon as it's posted.

Hey guys, I've written up some process documentation around this project on-wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_Tech_team/Community_Wishlist_Survey
I've also decided to make the project name more specific—Community-Wishlist-Survey instead of Community-Wishlist (so that it doesn't become a dumping ground). I think I'm ready to move forward with this.
Name: Community-Wishlist-Survey
Description: This project is used by the Community Tech team to manage tasks related to the top requests in the Community Wishlist Survey (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_Tech_team/Community_Wishlist_Survey).
Type of project: tag
Policy: default

Recommended practices for project and workboard management in Phabricator are available.
