The questions to be answered are:

1. What major trends would you identify in addition to mobile and the next billion users?
2. Based on the future trends that you think are important, what would thriving and healthy Wikimedia projects look like?

In order to keep the discussion manageable sections will be archived when there has been no answer for 3 days (72 hours) or more. If the page gets especially large a section may be archived earlier if it appears that the discussion is complete or has moved to a different, related, section.

• The screen size is smaller (but resolutions are rising again): After almost 15 years there’s still no way to have a good screen design that works on different kinds of screens and sizes. Work on that!
• The user interface on desktops is a mess because every link has to be there on every page. (Why?) And it sometimes doesn’t even make sense: On has to confirm to say thank you, but next to every edit there’s a revert link that works imediately, even if I don’t ever need it. Have this on mobile devices and people will go crazy and avoid editing.

• If you release software that changes the default user interface: make sure that it works. VE didn’t (and still doesn’t) work in a lot of tasks, and MV is a large step backwards on small screens.
• Listen to the comunities instead of working against them. -- 32X (talk) 00:03, 25 February 2015 (UTC) Reply
