অংশগ্রহণ
কেন আমার অংশগ্রহণ করা উচিত?
Have you ever needed to see an improvement in the functionality of the Wiki software? Do you have an idea for a new tool to make the platforms more usable and functional? Do you want to support someone else's idea for such an improvement? Participating in the Survey is just the way to make that happen.
By participating in the Community Wishlist Survey, you can affect what platform changes the Community Tech, a Wikimedia Foundation team is working on. You can also work with the Community Tech to build these tools.

প্রস্তাবনা পর্বে কী ঘটে?
In the proposal phase, contributors from every project and language can submit proposals for features and fixes that you'd like to see in 2023.
Community Tech limits the number of proposals per user to ১০. Why? Read more on What happens after the proposal is submitted. If you have more than ১০ ideas, feel free to encourage others to propose an idea.
আমি কীভাবে একটি ভাল প্রস্তাবনা তৈরি করব?
What makes a good proposal? These instructions are to ensure the proposals have the best chance at being selected for completion.
Within the Community Tech area of activity
The proposal should be about a technical need of active Wikimedia editors. It should require engineering work and NOT be about a policy or social change.

Less than a year-long project, more than a bug
The Community Wishlist Survey is limited to the capabilities of the Community Tech team.
The team is grateful for "big ideas" for the Foundation and doesn't ignore them. However, some proposals require a dedicated team other than Community Tech.
These proposals will be moved to a separate page and will not be voted upon. Later, the link to that page will be shared with other Wikimedia Foundation teams.

Pick one specific problem and describe it in detail
Provide context around why the problem is important for users. A good proposal explains exactly:
- সমস্যাটা কী,
- কে এতে প্রভাবিত হবেন।
- সম্ভব হলে সমস্যার জায়গা সম্পর্কে আলোচনার বিশদ বিবরণ দিয়ে স্ক্রিনশট, লিঙ্ক এবং আলাপ পাতা যোগ করুন।
এটি প্রযুক্তি সম্প্রদায়কে (কমিউনিটি টেক) তাদের কাজ কোথা থেকে শুরু করতে হবে তা বুঝতে সাহায্য করবে।
Don't just say that "(x feature) is out of date", "needs to be improved" or "has a lot of bugs". That's not enough information to figure out what needs to be done.
Proposals may be submitted in any language. Community Tech encourages the volunteers to translate them so everyone can read and vote on it more easily. Read more on Review phase.

সমস্যা সমাধানের জন্য আপনাকে উপায় গুলি পরামর্শ দিতে হবে না। সমাধান খুঁজে বের করতে কমিউনিটি টেক কাজ করবে।
Prescribing the solution can sometimes be a constraint. For example, voters could mistakenly support a solution that later in the year could turn out to be impossible to build, and Community Tech would solve the problem differently.
উদাহরণ:
Tags (ala evernote, searchable, catagorizing) (no information on the problem)- Bulk upload program (no information on the problem)
সম্প্রদায়ের অন্য সদস্যদের সাথে কথা বলুন
You may want to bring attention to your idea, and be part of a conversation about the idea happening elsewhere. Gather feedback and share the proposal. You can do this early on, before the voting phase. This way, contributors can know about the problem and remember to participate and vote for it when the time comes.
Also, see our promotional materials. You may use them.

Here's a list of some of the projects that got many votes. Community Tech was committed to work on them but had to decline them. It is unlikely, if not impossible, that the team could work on them this year.

প্রস্তাবনাটি জমাদানের পর কী ঘটে?
The community can collaboratively work on a proposal that presents the idea in a way that's most likely to succeed in the voting phase.
When a proposal is submitted, everyone is invited to comment on that proposal, and help to make it better — asking questions, and suggesting changes.
Similar proposals can be combined; very broad proposals should be split up into more specific ideas.
The goal is to create the best possible proposal for the voting phase.
The person who submits a proposal should expect to be active in that discussion, and help to make changes along the way.
আমি কি পূর্বের জরিপ থেকে কোনও প্রস্তাব আবার জমা দিতে পারি?
হ্যাঁ
If you decide to copy a proposal from the old survey into the new survey, Community Tech expects you to "adopt" that proposal—meaning that you'll be actively participating in the discussion about that idea, and willing to make changes to the proposal in order to make it a stronger idea when it moves to the voting phase.
You may also submit some proposals that were archived in past years. For example, you may go through unclear proposals, describe them better, and submit them.
It's helpful if you want to post a link to the previous discussion, but please don't copy over the votes and discussion from last year. If there are good points that people made in last year's discussions, include the suggestions or caveats in the new proposal.
If a wish was declined by the Community Tech team, it is not eligible for another submission unless it has been changed significantly.

Can I work on an idea before the proposal phase?
হ্যাঁ
The 2023 edition starts on ২৩ জানুয়ারি. You can start working on an idea using the Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This may allow you to make the details public and invite others to draft an idea with you.
What does "out of scope" mean?
It means out of the area of activity of the Community Tech team.
See also How to create a proposal for detailed explanations.
After the proposal phase, the Community Tech team will review the proposals before the voting phase begins.
The team checks if any proposals have to be declined. If there are any issues that prevent proposals from being accepted into the voting phase, they try to contact the proposals' authors and ask additional questions.
If a proposal is correct, Community Tech members mark it for translation. Then, anyone can translate the proposal to make it understandable for more people.
আমি কীভাবে ভোট দিব?
The only votes that are counted are 
Support votes.
The final list of wishes will be ranked in order of the most Support votes. If you are the proposer, a support vote is automatically counted for your proposal.
Participants can vote for as many proposals as they want. To ensure fair voting, only registered users can vote, and votes by very new accounts may be removed.
Can I post an Oppose, Neutral, or discuss?
হ্যাঁ
Discussion is encouraged during the voting phase. If you want to post an 
Oppose or 
Neutral vote with a comment, then feel free to do so.
These discussions can help people to make up their mind about whether they want to vote for the proposals. The discussions also provide useful input to guide the work that will happen through the year.
আমি কী অন্যদের আমার প্রস্তাবের পক্ষে ভোট দিতে বলতে পারি?
হ্যাঁ
You've got an opportunity to sell your idea to as many people as you can reach. Feel free to reach out to other people in your project, WikiProject, affiliate, or other kind of group of users. A good-faith "get out the vote" campaign is absolutely okay.
আপনি কিভাবে কোন প্রস্তাবগুলিতে কাজ করবেন তা নির্বাচন করবেন?
Once the survey is closed, the Community Tech team will choose some proposals from the survey to work on.
Popularity of a proposal is the main factor in the selection decision, but not the only one. If a proposal has many support votes, Community Tech also takes into consideration:
| Technical complexity
|
Product and Design complexity
|
Historically underserved needs and community impact
|
|---|---|---|
Software engineering effort that needs to be invested. This includes reviewing code, dependencies on other teams, infrastructure, legal, and security limitations, database updates, etc. |
Effort required for data collection to understand the problem, creation of the designs, user testing to validate the designs, and coordinating across teams to mitigate the impact of changing a part of the user experience. Should the launch be gradual or not gradual? How many and which communities will collaborate with us to test the new functionality? |
Is the proposal about under-supported Wikimedia projects?
How many people would benefit from the improvement? Is it about the support for non-textual content? |
The final score is a combination of all the above. Next, Community Tech begins to work on the proposals with the highest final scores.
Some of the wishes may be addressed by volunteer developers or other development teams.
Why is the number of votes not the only criterion?
In addition to the number of votes, Community Tech takes the complexity of wishes into account. This allows the team to stagger the work and complete more wishes.
Also, focusing only on the number of votes is an equity concern. There are small groups like global groups or communities from small Wikimedia projects. In a simple voting, they could easily be outnumbered, and they would continue to be under-supported.
How many wishes will you address?
It varies by year based on the complexity of the wishes.
Community Tech does not commit to a fixed count because the team cannot predict a number. The team strives to complete as many wishes as possible. Completing wishes depends on the complexity and resources, such as the number of engineers and designers on the team for that given year.
There was a time when Community Tech promised the “top N” wishes and tried to grant them between July and June. Sometimes wishes took longer than anticipated due to complexity. Other times it meant the team was rushing to get something finished. Also, this meant the team could get into situations of “over-promising” which could limit volunteers' trust.
In 2020, Community Tech stepped away from promising a total number of wishes they would grant.
How can I stay informed about the progress of the work?
- You can watch the page with updates about the recent Community Team's work.
- You can also watch the main Community Wishlist Survey talk page and talk pages of individual projects (see the box with recent changes below).
- Current status of individual wishes is available in form of a table on the main Community Wishlist Survey page.
- Once a month, Community Tech holds online meetings called Talk to Us. These meetings are open to anyone.
কি হবে যদি অনেক লোক কোনও খারাপ ধারণা সমর্থন করার জন্য ভোট দেয়?
বিরোধিতা এবং নিরপেক্ষ ভোট সম্ভাব্য ডাউনসাইড বাড়াতে খুবই সহায়ক। বিতর্কিত ইচ্ছার জন্য, কমিউনিটি টেক ভোটকে আরও ঐক্যমত্য-ভিত্তিক পর্যালোচনার সাথে ভারসাম্য বজায় রাখে।
As an example, this worked in the 2015 survey: The wish to "add a user watchlist" received a lot of votes but also some heartfelt Oppose votes. Community Tech listened to all sides, and made a decision on whether to pursue the project or not.
জরিপ এবং দল সম্পর্কে
Does this survey determine all technical changes in Wikimedia?
না
In the Wikimedia movement, there are many organizations and individuals who work on technical changes. There are volunteers, Wikimedia affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation. The Community Wishlist Survey is only a project of one organization, the Wikimedia Foundation.
The Wikimedia Foundation has two departments working on technical projects: Product and Technology. In each department, there are many teams. The Community Wishlist Survey is only a project of one team, Community Tech.
কেন আমরা এই বছর একটি নতুন জরিপ করছি ...
…instead of addressing other wishes from older surveys?
Community Tech wants to keep our priorities in line with the communities' priority needs!
As software evolves, so do the users' needs. Sometimes a really good wish from last year isn't so important anymore, or the description has simply become outdated. Conducting the survey annually helps reconfirm what the community needs.
Do you only build new things?
না
Community Tech also spends part of our time maintaining features they built in the past. This may, and sometimes does affect how effectively the team finishes their work on new changes.
জরিপের ইতিহাস কি?
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.
This survey process was developed by Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team, who run a wishlist survey on the German-language Wikipedia.
In November, 2015, Community Tech conducted the first Community Wishlist Survey, to help identify the features and fixes that are most important to Wikimedia editors. The team invited contributors from all Wikimedia projects to submit proposals. After two weeks of collecting proposals, the team asked them to vote on the proposals they were most interested in. The process has been repeated every year since.
How can I change things for next year?
If you've got suggestions to improve the process, feel free to write on the survey talk page. We'd be happy to talk about any ideas that you have! You can write in any language.
