Improve the representation of Wikimedia communities beyond English Wikipedia in the Community Wishlist Survey 2016 to reflect a diverse, global movement.
This task is to track the overall support work from Community Engagement (Technical Collaboration and Learning&Evaluation) for the Community Wishlist 2016.
This will focus on reaching out to the communities to give them a chance to propose and vote on tasks as well as helping Community Tech handle proposals and make sure they make sense by the time the voting phase comes. The latter includes working with editors who've proposed something to avoid vague "improve this" tasks where it's not clear what the desired outcome is, which means other editors don't necessarily know what they're voting for. It could also include helping them break up wishes into more than one proposal.
Technical Collaboration is mainly responsible for reaching out to the communities. Community Tech is mainly responsible for helping editors to make sure their suggestions are clear well phrased, but will require help from Technical Collaboration.
