In Reading, we currently identify problems and craft solutions, but have no solid way for moving them past the beta stage.
Here are some problems:
- our primary clients are readers, but we don't have a great way to contact them or get feedback--the only readers who engage on wiki are also editors/contributors and therefore a very particular subset of our clients
- our primary stakeholders are members of the various communities
Here are some potential solutions:
- as identified by WittyLama, create a consistent beta program and identify the metrics that need to apply to it before we are able to roll-out.
- Make our current beta program on desktop work for logged-out users, i.e. most readers (T115663)
- Establish means for getting feedback from beta users (T76573)
- create a rubric for what policy is required and when.
- small tweaks: announce
- new extensions/features: announce and ask for feedback
- major appearance changes like lead images...?
