Hello, Collab Colleagues :)
I just wanted to send a general update to this group, and a long overdue
follow up after our face-to-face meeting in Stockholm.
First of all, I want to offer another another round of thanks to everyone
who participated in Stockholm, and a special thanks to Sara from WMSE for
making sure things ran so smoothly.
I also want to thank Shani for stepping up and keeping us on track for our
next few monthly calls. It's important to keep these regular forums going,
and it's great to have support from you all to make sure it gets done :)
Through our time together in Stockholm we identified (and captured in the
graphic recording
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Art_in_the_Collab_4.JPG>) three
main things we wanted to work on, as well as short, mid and longterm goals:
(1) Dashboard, (2) Communications and (3) Mentoring.
I haven't been able to get these on Phabricator since I've been a bit
swamped. With the drastic downsizing of my team of 4 to currently one
person, a lot of my efforts have shifted to trying to staff up my team
again. I haven't been able to monitor Phabricator as closely as I'd like.*
If anyone has any interest in helping to organize our work coming out of
Stockholm on Phabricator and on wiki, please reach out to me :)*
Also, a new blog post (draft here
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129511>) about our Stockholm meeting
and next steps as a group is being finalized. We should see it published
soon! Thanks to Melina, Paola and Sara for capturing and sharing our work
with the wider Movement.
Best wishes to you all,
Tighe
