Hi everyone,

I just wanted to invite anyone interested to join an informal taskforce for responding to comments/questions left by new editors on the experimental Feedback Dashboard (Special:FeedbackDashboard).

You can sign up and see some documentation at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Feedback_Dashboard

This feature is still very much a work in progress.

In the meantime, I really feel excited about the potential to respond to folks needing help. I've done a few hours of patrolling and I know others have also jumped in and started to leave talk pages messages for these newbies already. I find it fun to try and find the new editors who are working hard to "get it", but need a little helping hand.

Actively using the dashboard will also help uncover any bugs that need addressing. Using it also helps inform the tech team at the WMF about new functionality it needs to really work well. So don't be shy about using the talk page, please.

Let me or Maryana know if you have any questions. (I've signed up for the taskforce with my non-staff account, so I'll be patrolling as well.)
