Hello,
Thanks for the update. The third point you mentioned about (structured)
data and data query, that sounds really interesting, and I would love to
run such query or attend the (online) seminars you have proposed.
About "Tired of the affiliate reports [2] wiki table of death? SO are we"
-- I am unsure, the people who wrote long report pages with infographics,
and Wikicodes, perhaps could edit that simple Reports table as well.
I started studying the portal and made a minor change to update something
{{Diff|19875666}}. I understand the portal will be gradually improved, and
more information, details will be added (such as for " Attach report link"
should it be full URL or [[Wikilink]], or should "What type of Report are
you attaching?" have more options? anyway...) I'll further study this, but
I don't want to submit the form just to study things. :) So a test/sandbox
option for the module/portal would be good.
Thanks
Tito Dutta

Congratulations on the launch! Knowing the competence
of both involved I'm
confident the project will be an asset in improving communication between
affiliates and wmf as well as improving data collection of reports and good
practices of affiliates.
Thanks to all involved for their efforts and as soon as I can I'll check it
more closely and help the affiliates I participate in to use and give
meaningful feedback to further improve on the new platform.
I'm excited to try it out and participate in the onboarding sessions.
Congrats again on the launch.

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:
1. 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
