Hi folks,

One thing we're trying to do as we schedule WikiDev '16 is make sure
that sessions are solving for one of five problems.  One of the
problems I've been trying to figure out how to articulate I think I've
finally got some wording around, and I'd like your thoughts.

The question: "how do we simultaneously optimize the following
conditions? 1) make software development more logical and obvious for
all Wikimedia contributors, 2) make Wikimedia software more useful and
reliable for the Wikimedia sites"

This is an expression of a balancing tradeoff that I think we've
implicitly made over the years, but I think it's time to make
explicit.  Ideally, new ideas should make both better, but sometimes
we need to sacrifice one to make big gains in the other.  Does that
question capture an important idea?

A lot more detail in Phab here:
