Minutes

    • Development wishlist / roadmap
    • Set up tasks on Phabricator
    • Extension documentation on mw.o
  • Re-focus (Markus proposes)
    • We are probably diverting too much. If we would be lobbying for only one reason, what would it be?
    • Mark: Extension / Content bundle?
    • We are not discussing. How to start?
    • mediawiki-l could be the mailing to discuss
    • Mark: what if we start discussing the extension bundle the idea in mediawiki-l?
    • Legoktm: we would need to discuss first whether that is a good idea?
    • Csteipp: as a 3rd party user you don't get any communiation when there are changes of big impact coming.
    • Isarra: Is there a way to communicate these announcements?
    • Mukunda: a MediaWiki Planet?
    • Siebrand? a tag log in i.e. Wikipedia planet?
    • ACTION: Publish major release announcements on techblog (Greg G on point)
    • We gots a hashtag: #mwstake
  • Wikimedia Foundation support
    • Quim: If you need something, ask. If you don't say anything, we assume you are fine.
    • The group should know what Wikimedia can offer (grants, participation and travel sponsorship to events...)
  • Quim: What about the SemanticMediaWiki community?
    • Markus: we have SMW people in the group, but we don't need to be the single point of contact for 3rd parties.
