We have some onboarding docs <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Onboarding>, but no getting started docs like this. I like it, thanks for working on it. I added information about Dashiki and Reportupdater. I think we should call this "Getting Started" and have it be the first link from wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics at the top, with a little explanation. Let us know when you're ready and we'll take over from there and maintain it. But right now it's a bit angled towards Wikidata, maybe we can make those details a sub-page, like Getting Started / Wikidata?

Hi there, I am the Data Analyst referred to in: "WMDE will onboard their data analyst soon" : ) Please, just a quick check to see whether I get the things right - feedback appreciated: - I need to open an Wikitech account (DONE); - I need to register for ToolLabs (DONE; Waiting for Admin confirmation, presumptively on my Talk Page to appear); - I register my public RSA key with the Labs, and then what: someone assigns an instance to me, and then I start installing R and whatever I need there? Thanks a lot. I appreciate the creation of the Onboarding Data Analysis Document, but I am trying to get to a descent server in the Wikimedia environment as soon as I can :) With best regards, Goran S.

The documentation for these steps has room for improvement. In particular, the SSH setup has been tripping up several people in the past. When we recently onboarded Zareen as data analysis intern in the Reading department, she wrote up some notes about the gaps that needed filling in in her case. These are linked at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_shell_access#Other_tips and might be helpful here too. Overall this part of the documentation could use an overhaul with input from someone who has a detailed understanding of the server setup.

Thanks. I am documenting all the steps, and of course I will share once when everything is settled and I feel confident enough about my own understanding of the process.
