Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes Project is an approach to identify and prioritize technical requirements from diverse users in a collaborative way.
The Technical Wishes team aims to:
- focus on building new and improved features in MediaWiki
- serve diverse users across wikis
- work problem-oriented instead of solution-oriented
Core element of the Technical Wishes Project is the Technical Wishlist, containing tasks resulting from the Technical Wishes surveys, but also from workshops. The survey has been a initiative by the community from the start, developed into a collaboration beetween the German-speaking communities, the WMDE software development department and many other people who support the Technical Wishes Project with their ideas, technical requests and discussion of requests. Since 2019, the Technical Wishes project no longer works on individual problems, but focuses on solving problems from focus voted by the German-language communities.
If you want to learn more about our approach, how it all started and the way we work, read our white paper "Building tools for diverse users. Lessons learned from the Technical Wishes project" or this wiki page.
