Talk:Reading/Strategy/Archive 1

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ This Talk page is dedicated to adding comments and questions on strategy. As a starter, we have a mini FAQ:

We're attracted to the rigor of this approach - in particular its requirement to elicit assumptions embedded in a strategy, then test those assumptions before committing to it.
 * 1. Why are you choosing this specific strategy approach?

We have a number of features that we think user would enjoy, and even some with pretty strong numbers. But we have to evaluate whether they are the correct fit for the readership-oriented emphasis of the Reading vertical The Reading strategy derived through the Reading strategy process will help to provide more clarity on priorities in the future, but in the mean time we do think it would be valuable to pause and consider whether there's a strong existing feature that would be a good fit for production / stable. We may decide that it would make more sense to work on something new instead of promoting a feature, as well.
 * 2. How are decisions of features or product promotion from beta to stable made?

The organizational strategy is built in part from themes that emerged from the community consultation, and the Reading strategy will be aligned with the organizational strategy.
 * 3. How are concerns from the community consultation conducted earlier this year incorporated?
