 From where I'm sitting, it looks like the every special interest group

 seem to think its going to be creating bots for communities that can't
 do it themselves, maintaining existing bots, provide technical support
 for grant requests, fix bug requests primarily affecting elite users
 fix bug requests primarily affecting unloved sister projects or even
 (earlier in this thread) fix uploading of large files.

 Community-tech is not going to fix everything for everyone. Eventually

Since the team doesn't even exist yet, it's probably going to be a bit
nebulous for now. According to the announcements so far:

The Community Tech team is focused on meeting the needs of active
contributors to Wikipedia and the sister projects for improved,
expert-focused curation and moderation tools. The creation of the Community
Tech team is a direct outcome of requests from core contributors for
improved support for moderation tools, bots, and the other features that
help the Wikimedia projects succeed. The team will work closely with the
community, through the Community Engagement department, to define their
roadmap and deliverables.

... and ...

... This includes a Community Tech team dedicated to supporting tools for
core contributors ...

 It's darkly amusing that you would translate Wikimedia community to mean

 Yes, you are misunderstanding. I'm sorry the team fails to impress you.
 The community tech team is a product of the recent Engineering

 once the team is fully assembled. In the meantime, they're eliciting
 ideas. What exactly is so insulting about a new team, still in the
 process of being formed, eliciting ideas for projects to work on?

 technical teams really engaged in projects not focused on serving the
 Wikimedia community? Are we creating teams that have no clear objectives?
 Didn't we just do this exercise in 2014 and we actively do some version of
 it on a daily basis in Phabricator?

 I don't believe you're truly sorry that the team fails to impress me. I

I created that page as a volunteer on personal time with my volunteer
account while I was on vacation, so if you don't like the page, you should
complain about me, not the Foundation. I don't work on the Community Tech
team (although I have applied) and no one instructed me to make it. Nor did
I ask anyone's permission or if anyone thought it was a good idea. It's a
wiki. You can nominate it for deletion or create your own page with better
ideas. I mainly just created the page as a place to organize my own ideas
since I was excited that the Foundation was finally allocating dedicated
resources to work on tools for power users (like us). I'll move it into
User space if you prefer.

Thanks for making us aware and for collecting that list!

Are those ideas available as tasks in Phabricator so contributors could
claim them? If so, they should get linked via the {{tracked}} template.

There is a #Possible-Tech-Projects project in Phabricator for such
tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/1042/

Curious if mw.org might be better than meta. There's for example
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Possible_projects 

And I'm not sure why the wiki page links to an outdated old-bugzilla
query instead of Phabricator. Maybe because by number by votes is not
available in Phab [1]? I'm not convinced that votes are more important
than linking to up-to-date task information. (Before anyone bikesheds on
votes: all arguments were already exchanged ten years ago in [2].)

I am not a big fan of taking threads off topic, but on the point of
readership, supposedly readership has a wide spectrum, expanding from
random users who pass by, to engaged readers, to those avid readers/random
contributors who could possibly become more regular editors, even if that
shift doesn't always happen by default.   Point is, readership might not be
an evil notion that distracts us from recruiting new contributors, it is
just one step on the road.
 And we can of course disagree on that :).

Hi MZMcBride,

I believe that this team is still early in its development. Lila's stated
intention for it is that the team will cater to the needs and wishes of
power users and administrators. There is quite a backlog of projects that
this team could tackle. For example, I am frequently hearing about issues
with getting large media files to upload to Commons properly, and perhaps
this team could work on that problem in coordination with the multimedia
team. I think that I also heard Lila say that this team will work on
improving administrator tools.

I agree that it would be nice to know how this team will be resourced. My
understanding is that we will have a better sense of this when the next,
and possibly last, WMF Annual Plan is published.

HTH,

Pine
