Trying to grab some developer time to provide to product design. In the meantime product will be prioritizing tasks based on minimal footprint.

This month saw the creation of the Micro Design Improvements team, an ad-hoc group of staffers who look at small but useful design improvements to make to MediaWiki. Vibha Bamba, Oliver Keyes and Munaf Assaf (with assistance from Howie Fung) worked on the design for our first feature, which simplifies the "edit" window. A mockup can be seen [link|here]. The team is very grateful to Terry Chay for securing technical assistance in the form of Rob Moen, who has generously agreed to donate his 20% time to working on this project. In the coming month, we plan to talk to the community about this feature, deploy it, and work on more of the items on our to-do list; if you have any thoughts about our current work or ideas for future projects, please leave us a note on the project talkpage.
