Suggestions?
Where may one find the area to offer suggestions for editor engagement experiments? Perhaps here? I have a number of experiments I'd like to suggest and I'd prefer not to use the WMF staff's talk pages on enwp as the s/n ratio over there is awful. Thanks. 64.40.57.170 09:23, 12 April 2012 (UTC)


 * This question of where best to get feedback is actually somewhat unsolved for us, and your opinion is most welcome. My off-the-cuff evaluation of our options is this:


 * MediaWiki.org -- almost certainly no good because it's supposed to be a place to talk about code, not general strategic ideas. Plus, it stinks to make volunteers come here from other wikis.
 * English Wikipedia -- great for getting lots of feedback, but in reality not all our experiments are going to run there, so it creates a negative impression that our work is intended to be English-only. (Naturally, when any experiments are run that impact English or any particular Wikipedia, we have to put up documentation of some kind locally, so I'm just talking about for the purposes of idea gathering.)
 * Meta -- topically the most appropriate, but suffers from some of the same problems as doing stuff on a secondary wiki like this one.

 * Thanks for the reply, Steven. If a place does get setup for suggestions, could you please add a note here? I'd be very grateful. Thanks. 64.40.54.198 00:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * We've started m:Editor Engagement Experiments and en:Wikipedia:Editor engagement experiments now. Steven Walling (WMF) &bull; talk   01:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thanks very much, Steven. It's much more than I hoped for. I really appreciate your support. Thanks also to Karyn and Maryana and everybody else in the Editor Engagement Project. I have a really good feeling about this. Thanks. 64.40.54.49 10:40, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Moving the timestamp
What ever happened to Timestamp position modification? The results seemed positive (m:Research:Timestamp position modification). Will that change ever happen? David1217 (talk) 00:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There's some discussion of this at Talk:Timestamp position modification. Steven Walling (WMF) &bull; talk   20:48, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you Steven! David1217 (talk) 01:08, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

clarify distinction with Core team
As I understand it, "Growth" is more about attracting & retaining *new* contributors, while "Core Features" is about engaging and retaining *existing* contributors. If this is the case, could you clarify on the Growth page? Thanks! Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 13:10, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
