=== Process for Decision Making:  ===


=== Relocate "thumbs up/down"  ===
In the Wiki, when something major needs to be changed, it's important for the community to be involved with discussing how those changes should be made. The following will help the engineering team know what is important to the community:


{{Suggestion
''(The following is a proposed process - please add your thoughts to the talk page.)''
| Proposal = Relocating "thumbs up/thumbs down" widget to be more visible and changing from "thumbs" to a 5-star rating system
| Date = January 26, 2011
| Priority =
| Owner = [[User:Cottrells|Steve Cottrell]]
| discussion Links = http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=5705
| status = Posted on forum
| Next steps = Propose at Tech Meeting
}}


=== Install Extension:Widgets  ===
*'''Make a suggestion:''' Begin by making a suggestion on the Forums or a Talk page so that others can chime in on the proposal.
*'''Add your suggestion: '''Then add your suggestion to the page above. Create a new table and add a link to where the issue is being discussed. (These items can also be discussed in the Weekly Contributor and Technical meetings, but it's important that the discussion is being discussed where there is documentation.)
*'''Set a priority: '''Add your vote to the "Priority Votes:" row with your username and what you see as the priority of the item from 1-5:


{{Suggestion
:*1-High: something that affects a large number of users a significant amount
| Proposal = Can the Extension:Widgets be installed on the Research Wiki (is already on the Translation Wiki).
:*5-Low: something that's a change more for aesthetic reasons than for usability purposes<br>
| Date = February 15, 2011
:As each person adds their priority, they should add their number into the average in the '''Avg. Priority''' row. If you are the owner, you should solicit at least x (how many?) votes for your item before you request that engineering review the priority.

=== Wiki Navigation Changes  ===
*'''Engineering Repsonse:''' When the engineers have reviewed it, they will add to the '''Next Steps''' section ....?
