Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project
. Nhóm Readers Web tại Quỹ Wikimedia sẽ chú trọng vào việc cải thiện giao diện máy tính để bàn trong thời gian vài năm, nhằm mục đích tăng khả năng sử dụng mà không xóa chức năng nào. Các nỗ lực của người tình nguyện gây cảm hứng cho chúng tôi nhưng cho đến nay chỉ có thể tạo ra các tiện ích và kịch bản địa phương, bản đề nghị, và giao diện (skin) tùy chỉnh. Chúng tôi muốn bắt đầu quá trình mang một số thay đổi nào vào trải nghiệm mặc định tại tất cả các dự án Wikimedia.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:


 * Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
 * Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
 * Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

'''We think this wiki would be a good candidate to be one of our first wikis. If the community here agrees, this would mean that you will:''' '''We encourage discussion on this. Feel free to ask us any questions here or on the project talk page about details.'''
 * Have a tighter feedback-loop and significant input on the shape of the desktop experience
 * Get improvements and new features significantly before other projects
 * All users will be able to opt out of the changes on an individual basis.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:


 * Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
 * Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
 * Put things in logical and useful places
 * Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
 * Eliminate clutter
 * Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:


 * Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
 * Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
 * No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.
