The new Wishlist aims to increase participation among users across the globe and our projects. We can measure this by 1) diversity of submissions and 2) diversity of participation/edits by language/ip addresses.
To create a new wish, users will enter a valid form submission. The form requires fields such as" project, type (bug/new idea), title, description, and users impacted, as well as optional fields for phabricator tickets.
Goal:
- Help anyone //viewing// a wish (and its related discussion) in their native language
- Keep all conversations and edits on a single wish to one page
- Allow anyone to edit a wish in their native language
Non-goals
- Conversations about wishes (and wish content) are de-centralized on language-specific wish pages. We risk missing conversations, adding bloat, and changing perceptions of a wish.
- Machine translations of wishes
**Limitations of submission form:
**
- The form (specifically description field) will accept wikitext, markup, and images. While we will "construct" a wish page based on the form responses, the description field is open text and a user may also write "H2: proposed solution," for example.
