Thread:Talk:New Page Triage/Status?/reply (3)

Well. The project has been "greenlit" already. The issue is, as always, our resource spread. Resourcing and prioritization are always delicate balances.

A project like New Page Triage is a pretty big undertaking and is absolutely guaranteed to a) upset a lot of people, regardless of how well its designed and implemented and b) fundamentally change some of the underlying software. So we want to be very slow and careful. Doing something like throwing resources at it for a week just because we have them and just to get something out of the door is a Bad Idea, especially since this problem is difficult and volatile. If we only have a week or two of resources, better then that we apply them to smaller projects that won't cause explosions or can provide us with better data going forward (like the Feedback Dashboard stuff we did through December).

I know there's a growing concern that the WMF isn't moving fast enough on this project but this one is truly an example where being the Tortoise is better than being the Hare.
