Toolhub/Progress reports/2022-07-08

Report on activities in the Toolhub project for the week ending 2022-07-08.

Planning for discussions on controlled vocabularies edit

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T308030

Work has begun on planning for a round of discussions with the Wikimedia community on the controlled vocabulary and taxonomy plans that Tricia has been drafting. Concrete dates have not yet been established, but we roughly expect to announce the questions and request feedback in early August. This would give the community 2-3 weeks to respond with enough time left in the month for the team to analyze the feedback and report back on our plans for implementation before the end of the month.

Last weekly report for the near future edit

This week we are publishing our 82nd Toolhub progress report on meta. These reports have covered the highs and lows of what we have attempted and accomplished from the start of the implementation phase of this project to now.

2022-07-01 was the first day of the Wikimedia Foundation's 2022/2023 fiscal year. In this new year we plan to continue to work to improve Toolhub, but that work is entering a phase where we need to spend more time talking to folks from the Wikimedia community who are using Toolhub, or who we think should be using Toolhub, and less time implementing new features. Rather than continuing with weekly reports during this phase we will change to publishing progress reports when we publish new builds of Toolhub to the production servers or when we have other useful news to share with our readers.
