There is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bugs listing a good number of things that we want. If Howie is going to work "improving commons" I hope him to cut down that list, instead of working on a new feature that he thought might be neat. I'm not trying to discourage new ideas, they wouldprobably be good. But I see that the Foundation POV of the issues needing tech attention is often different than the one seen from the community, since the work for many hires surprise me. For example, I don't think that working on LiquidThreads would have been pointed as a priority by many members (the current system is "not too broken"). Strategy intends to learn which things are important, but just having a developer coming to the Village Pump to implement whatever the local community needs [and is reasonable] could make a difference. It wouldn't be appropiate for Big Changes, but would give an easy say for many small changes that may simply annoy them. Making volunteers happy is important, too. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
