For completeness, some attempts to make communities influence development priorities exist, such as https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2018_Community_Wishlist_Survey Furthermore, if you are aware of a functioning system to "let the community decide" which also covers the needs of people we want to attract as new future members of "the community" (we have about 900 Wikimedia sites with different needs), which takes self-selection bias into consideration: I'd love to get more info. :) Thanks, andre -- Andre Klapper | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
