About how many developer hours were devoted per week to which software iniatives at WMF for Wikipedia? I would like to get a sense of where resources are currently being invested. Maybe a top 5 or 8 or 10 list would be great. Maybe someting like this: "1. VisualEditor: ~1000 hrs/wk, 2. Echo,: ~800 hrs/wk, etc." Thanks. Biosthmors ( talk) 05:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
It would be great if editors had a chance to "win" some programmer time from the WMF to help with small projects. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:24, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
As one can see from this old post (and I also posted again here), there is a desire to have these sorts of popular page statistics to help WikiProject prioritize their focus ( WP:MED500 is one example of a popular page report). Because effective WikiProjects help the productivity of Wikipedia, could anyone from the WMF try to help this along? I don't know why this has stalled, but this website says "new requests for the popular page systems are not currently being accepted. This will be fixed with updates to the program that should be completed by November." Is this, or could this, be a priority for anyone at the WMF? Thanks.

Does anyone from the WMF have an interest (or duty) in quantifying vandalism? Discussion thread here. I'm wondering how we as Wikipedians would know whether or not the vandalism problem was getting better, getting worse, or staying about the same. Biosthmors ( talk) 05:16, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Is anyone at WMF are currently working on the software challenges behind shifting Wikipedia to a real-time collaborative editing structure? The last I've seen on this possibility was here. I'd like for edit conflicts to be gone away with, of course. Biosthmors ( talk) 00:25, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
