This page is intended to implement LionKimbro’s suggestion on PrioritizingOpenSourceProjectInvolvement:
Please add new charts if you think of any.
Gosh this PageName? is long. Any ideas for a shorter one?
Maybe we could make it less specific – perhaps “CommunityWikiPriority?” or “TopWikiProject?”? The advantage of a nicer name may be worth letting a few non-software projects slip into the list.
Everyone, add your names and personal priorities to the charts here. Some charts (those which list projects that you yourself plan to work on) are only appropriate for developers (people who are documentation writers, programmers, graphic designers, etc, and who plan on contributing those skills to the software projects which they list).
Feel free to limit your charts to things that in your opinion “have to do with” CommunityWiki. For example, BayleShanks isn’t listing neurobiology related programming projects here. DavidCary isn’t listing cardiology related programming projects here.
This chart lists “major”1 project that people are currently working on, ranked by those individuals. The columns are people, and the rows are their priority rankings (with “#1” being most important). Each person “owns” the column with their name at the top of it; please don’t change other people’s columns2
Feel free not to list as many projects as there are rows if you don’t have that many major projects.

To do. A space for each individual to rank projects that they wish someone else would do, but that they have no plans to do themselves.

I suppose “Charts of communal priorities” means: “Stuff that will affect us here in the CommunityWiki.”
I’d go so far as saying that MCB’s are higher priority than WikiGateway, because WikiGateway can be dramatically simplified by the addition of MCB’s.
Specificly: The WikiGateway could read specifications on how to interact w/ a particular type of wiki via MCB’s. The MCB can name the relevant elements of the form for submission, and can describe the various aspects of the wiki’s interface. Then the MCB can be easily customized for any wiki it doesn’t know about with a generic MCB-driven adapter.
Kewl! Didn’t read it yet, just looked a the chart scale, bla, the diagramm above, kewl. I tried something similar, kinda trying to give people a view on what I like and think is important to go on with on this wiki (in this community). It is linked to on my homepage of s23-wiki, s23-wiki: Mattis Manzel as Category: Mattis Manzel. Didn’t update it anymore recently.
I made ranking charts out of some of the textual lists provided by Lion. I figured that the rank ordering of minor and future projects wasn’t too precise, so I just divided things into “high”, “medium”, and “low” priority. I didn’t know what priorities Lion had in mind, so I put everything in “medium” – Lion, please correct that if you see this note
