Description

@Rfarrand can you organize this Tech Talk around the week of February 20, please? We would keep the same setup as T153063: Wikimedia Foundation Technology and Product Q&A, just online, continuing with the list of questions.

  1. For WMF dev teams, what is the right balance between pushing own work versus seeking and supporting volunteer contributors?
  1. Do we have a plan to bring our developer documentation to the level of a top Internet website, a major free software project?
  1. How can volunteers bring ideas and influence the WMF annual plans and quarterly goals? (currently when plans are published it's too late)
  1. What vision do you see for MediaWiki and volunteer developers 5 years from now?

This would make a good package for a Tech Talk in February about "How to support Wikimedia volunteer developers better". @srishakatux could be the facilitator of this session in her developer advocate role.
