Wikimedia Engineering/2013-14 Goals

Purpose of this document: Goals for the Wikimedia Engineering and Product Development department, fiscal year 2013-14 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014).

Our top priorities for the year are:
 * Stabilization of VisualEditor and development of experimental opt-in real-time collaboration mode;
 * Continued focus on mobile contributions, expanding beyond mobile uploads;
 * Continued focus on recruiting, activating, retaining and reactivating editors through smaller interventions;
 * Development of Flow, an alternative to talk pages and markup-based workflows.

This document was first drafted in June-July 2013, and is being continuously updated. With the exception of milestones called out in the Annual Plan (flagged as such below), we may flexibly and continuously change quarterly objectives in response to successes and failures, as well as new opportunities.
