A wish list. These would be nice to have one day.
Redesign
- home page of wikimediafoundation.org
- green error page (this might be tracked by a bug)
- Wikisource desperately needs layout/design love to make its dry texts more engaging (and usable and...)
- some of the www portals
- see also: design
Analytics
- track visits to www portals
Commons
- solicit donations of art
- use Wikimedia's influence?
- strengthen GLAM
- implement crazy-good [[search by color, by size, by file type, etc.
- support more file types!
- favicons, etc.
Search
- Mailing lists search doesn't exist
- Especially problematic for private lists
- Media search on Commons is terrible
- Files
- Search by size
- Search by keyword
- Search by shape?
- Search by file type
- Audio and video
- Length
- Images
- Search by color
- Fuzzy image searching (for dupes, etc.)!
- Files
- w:Wikipedia:Dump reports — regexing wikitext
- Laxative
- BigQuery? Hadoop? Something else? This is possible now, just needs implementation; could standardize lots of articles more easily
MediaWiki
- Configuration user interface for MediaWiki
- Also has to support Wikimedia wikis (oh God)
- Queued user renames
- User deletion/deactivation process (there's a bug about this somewhere)
- Related to both: abstractify the MediaWiki database; stop storing username everywhere (there's no bug or RFC for this currently)
Communications
- Rewrite mailman?
- God it's so awful. The entire FLOSS community would thank you...
- ^From and pipermail
- Search system for archives...
- Mailing lists continue to be hugely important for the Wikimedia Foundation
- This happened upstream! Mailman 3.0 to modernize mailing lists
- Various OTRS improvements (is there an OTRS wishlist somewhere?)
MediaWiki extensions
- [add content here!]
Wikimedia Foundation
- Write a proper Wikimedia Shop (this has a bug somewhere)
- Localization!
- Flexible galleries
- Use a wiki; tie into payments.wikimedia.org; there's a bug about this somewhere
- [Python] Help out with the XML dump scripts
- Wikimedia needs an analytics infrastructure...
- [salt; Python; Puppet] Help with Wikimedia Labs
- Work toward disabling miser mode ([fix me: bug link])
- For a start, we want a better indexing system for bugs (bugzilla:38994)
- Just being able to find all Wikisource or all Wikinews bugs would be good; and being able to measure overlap to optimize/maximize resource allocation on certain projects
- Example: adding a custom inter-namespace tab (bugzilla:13228) might help Wikinewses and Wiktionaries
- Just being able to find all Wikisource or all Wikinews bugs would be good; and being able to measure overlap to optimize/maximize resource allocation on certain projects
