Revision as of 09:27, 29 July 2012

Background: In recent years, Wikimedia Foundation's engineering planning has primarily taken place in a combination of internal goals documents and public project-level documentation. The purpose of this page is to establish a practice of sharing holistic engineering goals, initially primarily with a short term horizon, as a public document with open participation. See also:

  • Product Whitepaper for Wikimedia Foundation product priority justifications; Strategic Plan for long-term WMF goals, some of which are engineering goals
  • Roadmap/Archive for an earlier effort to create a roadmap more focused on point releases of the MediaWiki software

Previous months:

Item syntax: 

* '''[[Project name]]'''
** [Qualifier keyword] Action item [Owner(s)] [Completion keyword]

Examples:

  • New unicorn engagement
    • [Needs consensus] Deploy unicorns [Brion/Tim]
    • Deploy unicorns [Brion/Tim] [DONE]

Continuous Responsibilities

  • Code review
  • RT review / ops tasks
  • Community extension review and deployment
  • Bug triages and general bug fixes
