Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Approach/Lessons learned from the Technical Wishes project
Feedback[edit]
This is wonderful. My favorite part was "Be a stable contact".
My question for you: When you say, "Focus on problems", do you mean "problems" or "use cases"? Sometimes, when someone reports a problem, I find that it's better to ask, "Why do you want to do that?" than to solve the reported problem.

- @Whatamidoing (WMF):} Hi! Thanks a lot for reading the paper and for your comment. And super sorry for the late reply.
- For us, the first step is the problem. And a problem can include different use cases. But yes, it absolutely is necessary to understand use cases behind the problem well before implementing solutions in order to understand the different aspects of a problem. That's why we look at use cases throughout the development process; for example during research and feedback rounds where we ask people to describe their workflows. -- Hope this helps, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (talk) 10:18, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Problem focus[edit]
Great Article. I agree totally that we should have aproblem focus, but I don't think we have an easy way for the community to record problem. The current community process via the community portals is solution focused. Wakelamp (talk) 10:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Wakelamp: Thanks for your comment. We agree, and we like to see the movement move in that direction in more areas. In our project, we're currently also looking for ways how this could be achieved. -- Best, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (talk) 10:46, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Johanna Strodt (WMDE) @Whatamidoing (WMF) I have raised this on pump ideas. I am suggesting bugzilla as it seems to have existant connections to mediawiki software extensions Wakelamp (talk) 08:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
