Talk:Wikimedia Engineering/2013-14 Goals

SecurePoll
Please include in the schedule a rewrite and redocumentation of the SecurePoll extension. The extension does not take advantage of many of the improvements in MediaWiki that have occurred over the last several years, and its documentation is incomplete and out of date and does not reflect feature changes that have been incorporated over time.

"Dozens of Toolserver tools have moved to Labs"
Uh? Tools supposed to be moved are over 540, so "dozens" is a non-goal, unless of course you plan to keep Toolserver alive long after the deadline for this initial testing goal. --Nemo 10:19, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Gadgets 2.0, Global scripts
Can we have Gadgets 2.0 and/or global scripts among the goals this time? See: Helder 17:19, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

"Wikimedia depends on a ton of other FLOSS projects…We have no good list of what all those projects are"
Apparently nobody is aware of FLOSS-Exchange, Open Source Toolset, or the tangentially related Best practices in evaluating new software.
