We plan to do this in [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/Goals/201617Q1 | FY1617Q1 ]].
Technical Debt analysis plan:
=============================
# List all software and services we maintain
# Make a list of criteria by which to evaluate the software and services //(NB: Greg has started a list in a spreadsheet)//
# Identify all associated "technical debt" things in each criteria category
## This can be everything from "need to upgrade from latest upstream" to "rewrite from scratch"
## It can also be process related (eg: "add a new European SWAT window")
# For each thing, give it an "importance" rating (ie: "this needs to be fixed yesterday!" down to "meh, not really even a thing")
# For each thing, give it an estimated difficulty (ie: "this would require rewriting MediaWiki!" down to "one-line config change")
# Use that info to prioritize work
# ???
# Profit!
