Each WMF product development process audience has its own subpage. This task follows the progress consolidating /Communities until the {{draft}} template can be removed.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_product_development_process/Communities
Note that subpages for audiences are expected to use labelled section transclusion in order to pull most of its content from the relevant sections of the subpages about stages (see the related discussion).
Just need the content on the pages that we're transcluding, then all that should be needing done is to finish the section labeling and transclusion.
What today is "the Communities subpage of the product development process" could be called or evolve into the "technical collaboration guideline" mentioned in the WMF Annual Plan FY2016-17. In any case, we are talking about the same.
@Qgil Should this task remain open if it's evolving into something else, or is being abandoned (for want of a better word)?
I think we can keep the task, but evolve it as the consolidation of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration_Guideline -- without hardcoded dependencies to the PDP.
I was considering to simply rename https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_product_development_process/Communities, which we can still do if it is still considered a good starting point. That will depend on the PDP plans (i.e. will the current stages be kept)
Does this make sense?
@Qgil I think we can close this as declined, invalid, no?
These pages on mw.org are not likely to be revived.
What about scanning the content of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_product_development_process/Communities, move anything interesting to the Technical Collaboration Guideline and then set a redirect from that page to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration_Guideline ?
I read it over. The relevant points are built into their respective place in the TCG already, I believe. Most of the text, while great in theory, is a really top-heavy process. Things like the checklists aren't really going to work. But, as mentioned, many points in the checklists have been converted into the "haves" of the TCG.
If we don't believe in that page anymore, then the best thing is to convert it in a redirect to the TCG, don't you think?
