GSoC 2017 Project: To provide enhanced usability for Wikimedia Programs & Events Dashboard managed by Wiki Education Foundation.
editSynopsis
editWiki Ed Dashboard is Wiki Education Foundation’s platform for helping people get started with editing Articles on Wikipedia and helping professors run assignments where their students edit Wikipedia. The technology stack includes Ruby on Rails and Javascript.
The Dashboard code runs 2 main projects–
- The Wiki Education Foundation Dashboard: The use case(scope) for this project is limited to higher education programs in the United States and Canada.
- Wikimedia Programs & Events Dashboard: For global Wikimedia community to organize all kinds of programs, including edit-a-thons, education programs, and other events.
The use case for the Programs & Events Dashboard project is wide and there are many enhancements to be made to increase the user experience, I'll be working on issues related to this and the overall user testing.
