Hi Amanda and all,
Just letting you know that I will try to include a video demo of the
Dashboard in the LearnWiki videos. The LearnWiki project is behind
schedule, but it is still moving forward at a slow pace. I'm hoping to have
some chunks of time to work on it during my Christmas break in December.

Hello Education list,
Many of you are already quite familiar with the Dashboard, but here's the
email we are sending around to let program leaders know there is a stable
beta version to use:
There is a beta version of a new tool to help you track your program and
measure its impact on any Wikimedia project, in any language--the Program
and Events Dashboard. [1]
In the past few months, we have been working to develop a web application
where Wikimedia program leaders can enter information about their program,
enable registration for participants, and keep track of activities… all in
one place! We call it the Programs and Events Dashboard, and it will allow
you to see in all the metrics you need to track your program.
Using the dashboard is very easy. You can login with your Wikipedia
username through OAuth and create a program right away. Among other fields,
you can enter home language, home project and start and end dates for your
program. When you create your program, the dashboard generates a link for
people to enroll, where participants can assign themselves articles to
work, or review articles created by others. You can see what articles
participants are working on, and also connect to other program leaders, all
in the same platform.
If you want to learn more about how the Dashboard works, join us on
Tuesday, November 29th, at 16:30 UTC on Tuesday, November 29th for a
demonstration via Google Hangout. [2]
We will really appreciate your feedback on how this new tool works! If you
find bugs, there are two ways to report them:
- privately via email to dashboard(a)wikimedia.org
- and publicly on Phabricator (
https://phabricator.
wikimedia.org/project/profile/1052/)
Your experience is key to improve this new tool, so we thank you in
advance for exploring and using the Dashboard in its beta version. We hope
it is useful to you in managing and tracking your programs!
Best,
Amanda
