I opened a new blocker for #15607 (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28194) that is based on Tim's comments on #15607 to make it easier to track the which issues block the deployment of the Interlanguage extension.

I'm trying to find ways to track issues that are important to the community *now* and raise them to the attention of the Foundation as something the community cares about. Casey, Gerard and others have contacted via email and helped by pointing me to specific issues. I invite anyone who thinks there is an important issue that the Foundation isn't addressing to send it to me. Every week, I'm trying to send out a couple of emails to wikitech-l about the bugs that the Foundation and MediaWiki hackers can focus on. This past week, some mediawiki hackers helped me realize that my criteria probably isn't the best (http://hexm.de/1d) and I tried to save myself by refocusing on bugs that got the most votes (http://hexm.de/1e). Developers haven't (and probably shouldn't) paid much attention to bugs rated by popularity, but, since my job is help Foundation developers and MediaWiki hackers remember to focus on the needs of the community, I think I'll continue to look at the popularity of bugs as well as rely on feedback from other people in the community. By filling the Bugmeister position, the Foundation is (in part) trying to increase its responsiveness to the community. If you think there is a specific item the Foundation isn't paying enough attention to, let me know. I can't promise that everyone who sends me an email will find the attention of the Foundation is focused on their issue, but I can, at least, make sure you are heard. Mark. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
