Hello everyone, the new Community Wishlist (formerly Community Wishlist Survey) opens on 15 July for piloting. We have an update on what to expect, and how to prepare <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Future_Of_The_Wishlist/Preview_of_the_New_Wishlist#July_1,_2024:_The_Community_Wishlist_is_re-opening_Jul_15,_2024._Here's_what_to_expect,_and_how_to_prepare.> .
In case you have missed earlier updates, here is an FAQ to help resolve questions you may have: *Q:* How long do I have to submit wishes? *A:* As part of the changes, Wishlist will remain open. There is no deadline for wish submission. *Q:* What is this ‘Focus Area’ thing? *A:* The Foundation will identify patterns with Wishes that share a collective problem and group them into areas known as ‘Focus Areas’ <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Future_Of_The_Wishlist/Preview_of_the_New_Wishlist#Introducing_%E2%80%9CFocus_Areas%E2%80%9D> . *The grouping of wishes will begin in August*. *Q:* At what point do we vote? Are we even still voting? *A:* Contributors are encouraged to discuss and vote on Focus Areas to highlight the areas *Q:* How will this new system move wishes forward for addressing? *A:* The Foundation, affiliates, and volunteer developers can adopt Focus Areas. The Wikimedia Foundation is committed to integrating Focus Areas into our Annual Planning for 2025-26. Focus Areas align to hypotheses (specific projects, typically taking up to one quarter) and/or Key Results (broader projects taking up to one year). *Q:* How do I submit a wish? Has anything changed about submissions? *A:* Yes there are some changes. Please have a look at the guide <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Updates#July_1,_2024:_The_Community_Wishlist_is_re-opening_Jul_15,_2024._Here%E2%80%99s_what_to_expect,_and_how_to_prepare.> . I hope the FAQ helped. You are encouraged to start drafting your wishes at your pace. Please consult the guide as you do so. Also if you have an earlier unfulfilled wish that you want to re-submit, we are happy to assist you.
