Draft.

Any reason to choose Meta over mediawiki.org? In principle, it is useful to default to mw.o for documenting technical development, but of course other factors might come to play.

That's just a draft in my userspace. It can be moved.

The main reason to keep it on Meta is that it is less technical documentation and more of a history of what we've done, aimed at the general community. Most of them never go to Meta, but Meta is still one step closer to the average Wikimedian than mw.org.

I want to challenge the hypothesis of "editors go to mediawiki.org less than Meta" vs the hypothesis of "where will a timeline of WMF development be better maintained".

It's a new page that will need to be linked from somewhere. Users of those somewhere pages will follow the links to wherever these links lead. Interwiki links can do the rest, if they are interested and want to watch the page.

The draft now includes some twenty items, and an explanation of what it's supposed to do and why.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Johan_(WMF)/Timeline looks like a useful list indeed. You might want to ask for additional input in wikitech-l.

Will post there in a week or so. Have reached out to some other places to get some feedback before I post on mailing lists.

It would be nice to have a final destination for this page.
