Flowify the dog/blogfood
[edit]You should be dogfooding the prototype dogfood :-) I wonder how a blog in Flow would work. Off the top of my head:
- Conversations on old topics would push them to the top until users switch from "Recently active topics" to "Newest topics".
- You could Summarize blog posts, and in the summary use templates with icons for different kinds of posts. You can't (?) filter by them yet, but you/your bot could build subpages that just list different groups of topics.
etc. Anyway, welcome back! SPage (WMF) (talk) 19:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks @SPage (WMF). I thought about using Flow for the blog, but I think I want more control than Flow allows me for that. I like having comments managed by Flow, but I also like that I was able to transclude User:RobLa-WMF/Blog into User:RobLa-WMF. My blog, I think, may bear some resemblance to very early blogs, which I kinda like actually. RobLa-WMF (talk) 02:10, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
"Where's my RSS feed?"
[edit]About the RSS feed: Not pretty, but it works: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:RobLa-WMF/Blog&feed=atom&action=history :) Guillaume (WMF) (talk) 15:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Q2 goals feedback: Focus
[edit]The phrase "and WikiDev '16 established as an opportunity to settle many stalled issues" could probably just be turned into a success metric itself. Eg: "The Wikimedia Developer Summit is seen as *the* opportunity to settle many stalled issues by all Wikimedian developers." Greg (WMF) (talk) 03:39, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- No idea how to measure that, though, especially by the end of Q2 (or even Q3). Greg (WMF) (talk) 05:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Q2 goals feedback: Strengthen
[edit]The goal, I suppose, is to make the ArchComm (whatever name, and I'm not in a place right now to judge the relative usefulness of any particular name) appear, through whatever measure one uses (defined by you?), as a functioning group of individuals working together in a more or less unified way (not necessarily in always agreeing, just like supreme court justices don't); in other words, a "team". Is that an accurate interpretation? Greg (WMF) (talk) 03:40, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Q2 goals feedback: Experiment
[edit]Is this a goal to more formally outline the process and terminology used by the Committee (and by extension, the rest of the Wikimedia developer community) to do what it does? I purposefully didn't say "simply to more formally...". Greg (WMF) (talk) 03:40, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
