Nice. This looks much better than before. Previously it felt so many people
had high hopes for projects that are outside of capacities that are
committed to this project. I feel this needs to be a super clear fact from
the start and not ask for the global community to commit XYZ number of
hours in the actions of promoting, translating, proposing and decision
making processes when developers can commit far less back to the same
community. Otherwise it feels like unbalanced work from a more holistic
perspective, but this is also non-exceptional...no?

Instead of putting resources into making more tools, how about putting more
resources into sustainability. For a large part of the last 12 months
Commons has been unable to upload large files, bulk upload tools falling
over have been hampering efforts to engage with GLAMs.   Every other aspect
of the WMF work has been put on hold while reviews into the systems take
place. I think it's time to put new development on hold or at least limit
priority and capacity then focus efforts on updating and upgrading existing
tools. If those tools cant be fixed, rewrite them from scratch

[Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey 2022 is coming. Help us and prepare

[Szymon Grabarczuk]

 The Community Wishlist Survey 2022
 starts in
less than two weeks (Monday 10 January 2022, 18:00 UTC
).
We, the team organizing the Survey, need your help.

   - Translate important messages
   

   and/or
   - Promote the Survey
   
   among anyone and everyone you know who has an account on wiki. Promote the
   Survey on social media, via instant messaging apps, in other groups and
   chats, in your WikiProject, Wikimedia affiliate - wherever contributors
   with registered accounts may be.
   - You may also start thinking about ideas for technical improvements or
   even writing them down in the CWS sandbox
   .

*Why are we asking?*

   - We have improved the documentation
   . It's
   friendlier and easier to use. This will mean little if it's only in English.
   - Thousands of volunteers haven't participated in the Survey yet. We'd
   like to improve that, too. Three years ago, 1387 people participated. Last
   year, there were 1773 of them. We hope that in the upcoming edition, there
   will be even more - if you help us with translations. Also, you are better
   than us in contacting Wikimedians outside of wikis. We have prepared some
   images to share. More to come.

*What is the Community Wishlist Survey?*

It's an annual survey that allows contributors to the Wikimedia projects to
propose and vote for tools and platform improvements. Long years of
experience in editing or technical skills are not required.

Thank you for your time and attention. To those who have participated in
the Survey - many thanks for your dedication.

See you in January!
