Artigo principal : Community Wishlist Survey/Updates

April 27, 2023: Continuing on 2022 and starting the 2023 Wishlist

Dear Community Wishlist Survey Participants,

We would like to thank you for your participation in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. The survey is a crucial element in helping us prioritize the development of new features and improvements to make Wikimedia projects better for everyone.

Starting work on 2023

We are pleased to announce that the Community Tech team has identified the "Display the categories on the mobile site for everyone" wish as the priority for the team to work on in the coming months after we complete the work on Better Diffs for paragraph splits. This was also Wish #18 on the 2022 Wishlist. This decision was based on the wish's technical and design feasibility, as well as its potential impact in improving the user experience of the mobile site for all users.

We understand the importance of this feature for the community, and we are excited to work on it. We will keep you updated on the progress we make and will provide more information on the timeline for implementation as soon as possible. In addition, we’ve begun investigating how to Extend “Who Wrote That?” tool to more wikis, the seventh #7 most popular wish from 2023 and hope to make great progress on that work in the coming months. We anticipate launching Who Wrote That? tool to French Wikipedia in the coming days, with several other languages to follow in the coming weeks.

Dark Mode

We want to provide an update on the "Dark Mode" wish that was voted for in the survey. We are excited to inform you that the Web team has taken on this wish and plans to work diligently on its development. However, due to technical constraints and design feasibility, the Web team will be releasing the first version of the "Dark Mode" feature in Beta. We understand the importance of accessibility and inclusivity, and we are committed to ensuring that this feature meets the needs of all users. Additionally, there are many templates that need to be adjusted, and volunteers need to be alerted to modify before the "Dark Mode" feature can be fully released. The Web team will work on documenting these issues, and we appreciate your patience in this process. We encourage you to subscribe to the Web team's newsletter to follow the updates about this project.

I would also like to take a moment to thank the volunteers who took the time to collaborate with me in good faith during my tenure here and share that I am departing the Wikimedia Foundation and this team. Thank you to those of you who took the time to participate in proposals, problem solving with us, and to those of you who volunteered and tackled technical pieces of granting wishes – I will carry that inspiration with me for the rest of my career.

In my absence, a Product Trio will absorb my responsibilities so you can expect to reach out to the Engineering Manager KSiebert (WMF), Tech Lead DMaza (WMF), and Principal designer JSengupta-WMF as a united Product Trio after my departure in early May. You can expect to communicate with the team in the same way as before, the Talk pages for Projects, Updates, and the Team are the best way to reach the team. We collectively would also like to thank you once again for your participation in the Community Wishlist Survey. Your input helps us prioritize and improve Wikimedia projects, and we look forward to your continued engagement in the future.

Sincerely,

NRodriguez (WMF) and the rest of The Community Tech Team

March 13, 2023: Better diff handling of paragraph splits update

The team has continued work on this wish on both the engineering and design side and we wanted to share the updates with you.

Thank you to all of you who took the time to engage with us and provide feedback on the talk page. We read through all of the feedback and did an aggregate analysis on the points made. We then combined your feedback on those proposed designs, as well as unmoderated user research, and we've finalized the proposed designs to go into engineering for the improvements regarding the wish changes.

Please see the designs in this update which include:

Switching between diff modes via dropdown
Improving the accessibility of inline diffs with legends and tooltips for desktop
Improving the display of a change that introduced a new line or paragraph
Improving the display of a change that deleted an existing line or paragraph

In addition, a demo of the changes for the underlying comparison engine has been created.

Before you try out the demo to give us feedback, please note:

It's a work in progress, our QA engineers are currently using a list of comprehensive diffs to make sure the changes are consistent with the current version of the two-column diff experience or an improvement on the UI.
The demo page does NOT include all final UI changes but can give testers a good sense of how the completed two-column diff experience will end up looking.
To use the demo, paste the same text into the two boxes and modify the text in the right box. The diff under it will show what changed.

We'd love to hear your feedback on our talk page!

Next Steps

Accessibility of Design Colors: Our designer is working closely with our Design Systems team to determine the accessibility of the designs. We anticipate having to change the shade of them to a slight degree to make it more accessible but the colors will remain similar to the blue and yellow currently displayed on two-column and inline diffs.

Release plan: We are working out a release plan and a timeline of next steps and will be including this in our next project updates! Releasing changes to the underlying engine on the diff follows a different process than traditional releases in Mediawiki software so we will be sure to update you with steps and details next time.

We also want to include big thank you in this update to a non-Community Tech staff member, Tim Starling, who graciously stepped up to help us with the underlying changes in the C++ engine of wikidiff2. We are always happy to receive support fulfilling wishes from other members at the Foundation that have the expertise necessary to fulfill a wish even if they are not in the Community Tech team.

We're looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Open Questions from first update: We want to hear from you!

Are you interested in conducing user research on the new proposed interface to diff paragraph splits? If so, will you please post that you're interested in the Talk Page?
What other pain points manifest themselves when you view the diff?
How might we address the root pain points that address the confusion around paragraph splits?
How does the use of color indicate which content is added, removed, or stayed the same?

March 7, 2023: Community Wishlist Survey 2023 results published

The Community Wishlist Survey 2023 edition has been concluded. We have published the results of the survey and will provide an update on what is next in April 2023.

O que nós fazemos

Trabalhamos principalmente na pesquisa de lista de desejos da comunidade. É um projeto anual no qual contribuidores de todas as wikis da Wikimedia podem pedir as mudanças que eles mais gostariam de ver.

Trabalhamos em tarefas relativamente pequenas e que trazem um benefício direto para os colaboradores mais ativos. Em particular, apoiamos aqueles que:

Participe nas camadas curatorial e administrativa dos projetos da Wikimedia
Trabalhe em recursos técnicos para wikis, como predefinições, módulos, gadgets, scripts de usuário e robôs.

Ocasionalmente, também trabalhamos em outros projetos. Fazemos isso para ajudar grupos menores que podem não ter apoio suficiente na pesquisa. É assim que trabalhamos:

We also periodically take part in a "wishathon".

Scope

As tarefas que estão no escopo incluem:

Criação de gadgets, robôs e assistentes para ajudar os usuários no que eles já fazem
Modificando gadgets e robôs existentes para que possam trabalhar em mais projetos
Converter o código da comunidade muito usado (gadgets e scripts de usuário) em parte do software MediaWiki
Construindo ferramentas para WikiProjetos
Identificar e corrigir problemas com as ferramentas antigas mais importantes para usuários experientes, como filtro de abusos ou Citation bot
Criar uma documentação melhor para essas ferramentas para que possam ser melhor utilizadas

As tarefas que não estão no escopo incluem:

Manter projetos órfãos/abandonados de outras equipes do WMF.
Apoio às necessidades internas das equipes WMF.
Projetos de desenvolvimento grandes e de longo prazo, como a conversão do Commons para usar metadados estruturados ou a criação de uma interface de lista de observação inteiramente nova.
Ser o ponto de contato para todas as solicitações técnicas da comunidade.
Sysadmin type tasks such as managing Toolforge, improving site performance, creating new wikis, managing IRC channels, etc.

Colaboração

The Community Tech team has a similar mandate to Wikimedia Deutschland's Community Tech team – Technischer Communitybedarf, or TCB – which provides technical assistance and software development for the German Wikimedia community. We will be collaborating with them on projects that overlap between our teams and assisting each other with technical assessment and code review. We will also be collaborating with other WMF development teams when high-priority community requests fall within their scope. In such cases, we will work with the leaders of the other teams to negotiate timelines, expectations, priorities, and ownership. We also spend a good deal of our time working with and supporting Wikimedia volunteer developers.

We uphold the civility standards set by the Terms of Use. We observe and maintain the code of conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces in our interactions, and ask that all contributors to Community Tech spaces do the same.

How can other teams contact us?

Feel free to contact any of us individually, on IRC at #wikimedia-commtech^conectar or through the #talk-to-commtech channel on Slack.

Envolvendo-se com a comunidade

Fazemos a triagem e rastreamos nosso trabalho no Phabricator. Fora da pesquisa de lista de desejos comunitários anual, use as seguintes predefinições do Phabricator para registrar solicitações de recursos e bugs para as ferramentas que mantemos:

Revisamos e fazemos a triagem de novas solicitações em uma cadência quinzenal.

Diretrizes

É importante para nós…

trabalhar em projetos que tenham um grande impacto
ajudar wikis grandes e wikis pequenas, em muitos idiomas
ser aberto e comunicativo
responder às solicitações e preocupações das pessoas
ser calmo e civilizado e assumir boa-fé

Somos uma equipe pequena e há muito o que fazer! Queremos ser o mais úteis e eficazes possível, por isso não podemos assumir tudo. Dizer não aos pedidos que não podemos atender é uma parte importante do nosso trabalho, porque libera tempo e energia para os pedidos em que podemos ajudar.

Mas às vezes é difícil ouvir "não", então aqui estão algumas diretrizes sobre como trabalhar e se comunicar com a equipe da comunidade tecnológica.

Por favor, seja calmo e educado e assuma boa-fé de nossa parte. Nós também nos preocupamos com os projetos.
Amamos nosso trabalho e trabalhamos duro, mas não trabalhamos 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, e não podemos garantir uma resposta imediata.
Se uma pessoa ou problema específico está ocupando uma grande porcentagem de nosso tempo na wiki, isso tira o tempo e a atenção de outras pessoas. Às vezes, teremos que encerrar uma conversa e dizer que não podemos dedicar mais tempo a um determinado assunto.
Não podemos assumir projetos que estão atualmente no roteiro de outra equipe de produto ou um projeto que entra em conflito direto com o trabalho de outra equipe.
Se houver um problema com o trabalho de outra equipe de produto, podemos encaminhá-lo para a pessoa adequada para conversar.
Não podemos responder a perguntas sobre questões de pessoal ou assuntos confidenciais.

Our process for defining our Values and Mission

In a collaborative session we all came together as a team to work towards being able to formulate our mission statement. To get there we first tried to think about which values we most care about individually to then see where they overlap, because we wanted to make sure that they are truly with us as a group of humans.

Three values stood out to us, which are: Knowledge, Kindness and Collaboration

Values statements itself are pretty broad and can be interpreted differently so we discussed them thoroughly to understand what behaviours they actually translate to, we’ll summarise here quickly what we mentioned:

Why do we care about Knowledge?

We do not want to be protective of our knowledge. If we discover something or implement something new we would like to write about it, let others know compassionately. If we make a decision, document it and explain the reasons. This is especially important because we want to be welcoming people to join the movement as new contributors or team mates.

Why do we care about Kindness?

We are conscious that we can never know what struggles others might be facing, always remember that we may not be aware of the whole picture. By being considerate and courteous to one another we ensure that we all feel included and encouraged to work more openly with one another. In addition to that being kind can mean being clear about if and how we can help or resolve a problem.

Why do we care about Collaboration?

Collaboration is the backbone to what we do and fosters innovation by combining ideas from different viewpoints. When giving explanations we want to be detailed and link to more info wherever possible, to make sure our explanations are meaningful to others. We welcome and actively seek ideas & feedback and questions from each other, WMF, and the community.

Mission statement

Having our values and beliefs in mind we further thought about what our mission statement might be. What are our responsibilities towards the movement, the community and towards each other and what connects us to the CommTech team. Are we just building some tools or is there any greater duty that motivates our work? This one summarised our opinions best:

We surface the movement's technical platform needs and build and support needed tools with engaged contributors.

As we want to contribute to the increase of the movement’s inclusiveness and growth, we surface the needs of the contributors, as long a they are of technical nature. Some of the tools we build ourselves, while we communicate others to the foundation to increase awareness of these needs across different teams.

Strategy

One of the challenges our team faces is that we touch many different codebases and existing tools, that we don’t know well, therefore we currently have two main initiatives:

Collaboration Initiative

The need to collaborate and work closely with others at higher frequency than other teams is quite evident as we frequently build on top of other team’s work. If we touch existing codebases we need to make sure our tools are implemented in a way that matches their way to work and works towards the same goals.

The goal of this initiative is to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams and within teams and find ways to check in with other devs before implementing work to make sure we do not build things from scratch that have previously been implemented. In addition to that we know we can build more innovative solutions by allowing for more collaboration. We thought of ways to encourage for more cross team collaboration for engineers i.e. by encouranging temporary exchange for engineers across teams, by reserving weekly internal collaborative programming sessions that engineers from other teams can visit and add to the agenda of these sessions.

Every quarter, since April 2022, we have an internal hackathon where we work on a series of proposals from this years wishlist and invite other teams to join us for a week. Often times specialists for certain fields are already existent in other teams and working on different projects for a week can increase the sense of belonging within the engineering team as a whole and have a positive impact on levels of collaboration in the future.

Maintenance Initiative

With a growing list of projects we maintain, we are left more and more distracted from our priorities.

We do want to provide maintenance for our work, but want more structure for how we provide it. This year we reviewed our approach to maintenainenance and restructured our strategy towards maintenance. Here are the outcomes of this discussion here.

We internally decided how to make these changes happen and are tracked our decision making progress.

Documentation Initiative

Artigo principal : Community Tech/Documentation

With the intention to understand the work of other teams we often look at codebases that are new to us. A good level of user and developer documentation is absolutely essential to get an understanding of the implementation details, goals and challenges of other's work. As a team we want to be exemplary in producing really good documentation, ideally documenting first before implementing and frequently updating others about the status of our work. To achieve that we are currently looking studying how other teams document their work to make sure we find a way that is aligned with other teams. We want to keep documentation close to our code.

When organising collaborative programming sessions we collected recommendations and wrote it down in a guide.

After researching different approaches for how to advance the way we document our work we have come accross documentation-driven development, which seems to meet our needs in respect to how we value docs. We are experimenting with this approach with our current wish Better diff and already enjoyed it's benefits as we are more aligned on what we are working towards and can get feedback from users before implementation.
