Weekly update: No updates.

Week 1/13 update: no updates

@Capt_Swing one update on my end is that I talked with the designer. They're on vacation until 2020-01-28 and will get back to us then.

@leila great!

Weeks 1/20 and 1/27 updates: no updates

Week 2/3 update: no updates

@Capt_Swing I have some updates on my end. I talked with our designer today and he's available to help. I told him that by the end of March we want the designs to be out on the meta pages which means he needs to leave time for any coding to be done on our end.

I didn't bring up the main portal idea with him, yet. For now, let's go with project pages and their subpages. What I need from you is a proposal for the skeleton on these two types of pages. The skeleton should include information that should appear in every project our team writes on meta. You can start from characterizing reader behavior page as an example. Please send it my way once you have it and I'll do a pass and provide feedback. We can then use our 1:1 next week to iterate over it in sync as well. Let me know if this works.

@leila sounds good. I'll complete the skeleton/requirements doc this week.

Week 2/10 update: worked on 'skeleton' for Research sub-program pages.

Week 2/17 update: finalized project skeleton with Leila; opened up communication with Diego.

Week 2/24 update: continued to communicate requirements to Diego. I believe things are in his hands now. I don't plan to circle back with him until next week.

Week 3/2 update: Diego began experimenting with building the sub-program template and custom stylesheets in his userspace on Meta.

Week 3/9 update: Diego is unblocked on TemplateStyles and is developing the stylesheets in his userspace: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/DiegoQuintanaCL

3/16 update: Provided design feedback and wikitemplate-building resources

Week 3/23 update: @leila provided design feedback last Monday; Deigo has not yet responded.

Week 3/30 update: No updates. @leila will reach out to Diego to determine his status and capacity to continue working with us.

I just pinged them. I'll write back when I hear from them.

I heard back. Diego feels comfortable that he can finish the designs by the end of 2020-04-17. That's what we agreed on. Please expect an email from him.

Week of 4/6 update: no updates (still waiting for diego to reach out)

Week of July 13 update:

• I followed up with our designer to see what's blocking them. (The almost finalized design).
• Baha is working on the front-end to see how we can expose the design via a template in meta.

Update:

• Baha has received the CSS and HTML files from Diego. Baha expects to be able to make the template by the end of July.
• Diego may iterate on a design to provide a link back to research.wikimedia.org.

Update:

In a magic week, bmansurov and Diego came together to make this happen:

I've just created the template, module, and style pages on meta. Here
they are:

1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:ResearchMetaLandingPage
2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:ResearchMetaLandingPage
3. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:ResearchMetaLandingPage/styles.css

We're testing it at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Draft:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Reader_Behaviour now to do some minor improvements. This task is done now.
