Event Metrics: Which features should come first?
by Joe Matazzoni 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

A new post [1] on the Event Metrics tool project page asks: in what order should we build and release the proposed new metrics features? In the post, I lay out a plan, in there stages. In formulating the timeline, the guiding principle is how to get the most value to users in the least time. Please come and have a look. I also posted the first wireframe design for the project [2]—for an expanded and completely redesigned Event Summary data screen. Please come and offer any ideas or comments on the talk page.

Dear Wikimedia & Education community, I wanted to let you know that Vahid’s last day at WMF was Friday, October 5th. Vahid has been a valuable member of our team and the Wikimedia movement for the last two years, and a vocal advocate for using the Wikimedia projects in education. We wish him all the best in his next endeavors. If you have ongoing dependencies or collaboration with Vahid, please reach out to me, and I will help determine the best approach to supporting you. We are working hard to fill the open roles on the education team, and will do our best to continue to support and advocate for the Wikimedia & Education community. In the interim, we have brought on Sailesh Patnaik as a part time contractor to support core communications workflows (e.g. newsletter, office hours) and to support work on revamping education content on Outreach Wiki. If you have any questions, please direct them to me and I will do my best to support you. best regards, Nichole -- *Nichole Saad* Wikimedia Foundation | Senior Program Manager, Education nsaad(a)wikimedia.org user: NSaad (WMF)

Event organizers: time to comment on product plan for Event Tool
by Joe Matazzoni 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Today I proposed a product plan [1] for Event Tool based on the two Sept. 6 metrics posts—here [2] and here [3]—that I brought to this list a few weeks ago. The proposed program of work is designed to turn Grant Metrics into a simple but capable tool that will meet the metics needs of most event organizers—a “one-stop shop,” as one organizer called it, for getting the data that many organizers now laboriously assemble from multiple sources. I’ve called the project laid out in the two posts reference above “ambitious but achievable,” and I think that’s a good description. Now it’s your turn again: does this direction look right? Is there anything we can add that would make it work better for you? And—since it’s possible we won’t get to everything—are there any features here you think we could drop or put on our low-priority list? If you have ideas or questions, now is the time to bring them forward. We’re listening!
