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. Milovanovic,
Data Analyst, WMDE

Good resources to look at are Discovery's onboarding page for data analysts https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery/Team/Analyst_onboarding and our employee operations manual https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discovery/Analytics

I'll try to take a look at the GDoc and offer suggestions there.

Hello Analytics,

WMDE will onboard their data analyst soon. Adam and me (with help of various others) compiled an onboarding document to collect all™ the needed information to get started.

It maybe useful for us to copy some over to Wiki to pages below https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics

We could create a "getting started" page from (or is there already one which I oversaw?)
