Description

From T153063

For March, the next question in the list would be

What is the priority of making MediaWiki useful for 3rd parties, relative to other WMF goals and investments?

For a proposed June Tech Talk pertaining to 3rd parties I identified these unanswered questions from T153063: Wikimedia Foundation Technology and Product Q&A

  1. What is the priority of making MediaWiki useful for 3rd parties, relative to other WMF goals and investments?
  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?

@srishakatux is planning to organize T155481: Tech Talk: Wikimedia Foundation Technology and Product Q&A (continued) on May. Therefore, this Tech Talk should be scheduled in June.

Which could be packaged with other questions relative to MediaWiki for third parties.

@CKoerner_WMF, can you add 2-3 of these questions in the description, taking them from the prioritized list of questions, please?

Changing status to stalled b/c there has not been any movement on this in the last two quarters.

Aklapper changed the task status from Stalled to Open.Jun 8 2020, 4:38 PM

@srodlund: The previous comments don't explain who or what exactly this task is stalled on ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on"). Hence resetting task status.

(Smallprint, as general orientation for task management: If you wanted to express that nobody is currently working on this task, then the assignee should be removed and/or priority could be lowered instead. If work on this task is blocked by another task, then that other task should be added via Edit Related Tasks... → Edit Subtasks. If this task requires info from the task reporter, then there should be instructions which info is needed. If this task needs retesting, then the TestMe tag should be added. If this task is out of scope and nobody should ever work on this, then this task should have the "Declined" status.)

To be clear, I would not decline this task, as it seems to be something folks want to do. Rather, it seems stalled because there is no plan for who will do it and when.

For now, I have removed the parent task of Tech Talk 2020, since this task was opened 3 years ago, and there are no concrete plans to do it this year.

It looks like nobody plans to do this.
