The WMF Community Tech team is researching and designing a tool intended to help people
who organize and run wiki events. I just posted ideas for what such an "Event
Tool" (working title) might do [1]. Now we’d really like to hear back from event
organizers: Will the ideas described help make your process more efficient? What did we
miss? What might make this tool more useful?
My research so far has focused on editathon organizers, but we hope that at least some of
the features under consideration will also be useful for people who run content drives and
similar types of wiki events. So please look over the ideas we’ve come up with so far and
let us know what you think. In particular, consider answering some of the many questions
you’ll find on the project talk page [2]. We’re listening!
Yours,
Joe
