WMF is made up of individuals. If there's something that you think should be done, why not figure out which team it would normally fall under, and politely suggest it to the people on the team that they should make it a priority (If it doesn't fall under any team - lets be realistic, it probably won't be done)
They're either going to say yes or they're going to say no. The better reasoned your argument for why its important, the more likely they are going to say yes. That said, gsoc/opw usually doesn't reflect Wikimedia community priorities all that much (imo). -- -bawolff On 9/28/15, Pine W <wiki.p...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Quim, > > For projects that don't move forward in Outreachy for any reason, is there > a way of suggesting that the particularly useful open projects get WMF dev > time next quarter?
