Community Wishlist/gu
The Community Wishlist is a forum for Wikimedia project contributors to share ideas or "Wishes" to improve our product and technology, and then collaborate with each other and the Wikimedia Foundation to prioritize and solve these opportunities together.
In order to build sustainable, multi-generational software, the Wikimedia Foundation needs to hear from, and collaborate with volunteers about challenges and opportunities to improve our product and technology.
How it works:
- Volunteers can submit a wish (feature request, bug fix, system change) at any time. We encourage users to submit a wish in their native language.
- Submitted wishes can be reviewed, commented, and edited by fellow volunteers, and accepted by the Foundation.
- The Foundation then reviews all new wishes, identifies common themes across wishes, and turns these themes into focus areas. Focus areas help us move beyond individual solutions, which might only work for certain use cases, and instead identify and solve as many of the biggest, most impactful problems as possible.
- Contributors may support and comment on focus areas, which will then be adopted by Wikimedia Foundation teams, Community Tech, affiliates, or volunteer developers.
