Thread:Talk:Product development/For starters: triaging enhancement requests/reply (8)

Even before picking a feature: triaging is good training to get you started. It's a useful way to learn more about projects, contributors and do useful work.

Once you find an interesting enhancement request you can blow the dust off, CC other contributors that may help assessing it and start converting it in a plan.

If we send them to MediaWiki core first then yes, the chances of finding problems finding developers, discussing the new feature, eventually merge it etc are higher. But this is only one product of many. And arguably most of the enhancement requests are either small suggestions that maybe were overseen or forgotten, or features that can be implemented via extensions or gadgets.

On the other hand: what do you propose to do?
