Roadmap

We're in the process of prototyping alternative formats for this roadmap. A current spreadsheet prototype can be found here.

Background: In recent years, Wikimedia Foundation's engineering planning has primarily taken place in a combination of internal goals documents and public project-level documentation. The purpose of this page is to establish a practice of sharing holistic engineering goals, initially primarily with a short term horizon, as a public document with open participation. See also: Item syntax: Examples:
