Thanks for the update Dimi.
The system seems reasonably flexible (assuming the links can be both internal and external). There are two things I'd suggest:
- Please track language versions. If multiple languages are available, it
would be nice if they can be connected. It would also be helpful to identify languages in the report.
- Be generous with the 'other' option. For example, you now only allow
monthly and annual reports. Would you discourage quarterly reports to be shared? Or three-year reports? I know those may not be required by WMF, but they may be produced for different purposes. I imagine you would want those to be shared too?
Best, Lodewijk

Hello Dumi,
Thanks for the update and teams efforts on this initiative. I have taken
a
tour on the portal and it looks really simplified and easy to navigate. However, I will be on standby for the training session.
Best, Joy

Hi Dumi,
This looks interesting, but I’m worried that the WMF is still trying
to
exclude itself from reporting its metrics. Will this new tool also
make
it
easier for the WMF to post its reports?
Thanks, Mike

TL;DR: Launch of Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal
We are launching a new form-based annual reporting system for
Wikimedia
affiliates [1], as well as a basic Affiliates data query system. We
would
love your feedback.
Hello, Affiliate Leaders & Community Members,
Tired of the affiliate reports [2] wiki table of death? SO are we!
The Learning & Evaluation team is pleased to announce the launch of
the
Wikimedia Affiliates Data (WAD) Portal [1]. This portal will serve
three
purposes as follows:
- It introduces a new Object-Oriented User Interface (OOUI) [3]
form-based report submission interface for annual activity and
financial
reports. This replaces the wiki mark-up based submission via the [[Reports]] page on meta. 2. It introduces the ability for Organizations to update their information using OOUI forms on the fly. 3. It introduces a new simple data query form that allows anyone logged-in to their public wiki accounts to run a query and view
results on
available Affiliates data. The query tool will be improved in the
coming
financial year, as we work to code data in Affiliate reports into structured data, to allow for richer analysis.
The [[Reports]] page on meta will continue to be visible on meta
until
the
end of June 2020, after which it will be protected and archived.
All
organizations that are due to submit annual reports at the end of
March
are
encouraged to use the new report submission forms. If you do use
the
new
forms, please share any feedback you have about this new process on
the
Portal’s talk page
We will hold training seminars for those who wish to be onboarded
to
the
submission forms and the Query system during the months of March
and
April
2020 (Dates will be communicated soon).
We have taken time to pre-populate the system with basic
information
about
each recognized Wikimedia affiliate, however, should you find any
incorrect
or outdated information about your group, please use the
organization
information page[4] to provide updated information.
We trust that you will enjoy the new portal and that you will find
it
useful. Should you have any problems or encounter bugs in the new
forms,
please use the Portal talk page [5] to log these, or to simply ask questions. We will collect similar questions to create an FAQ page
in
due
time.
Kindest regards
