@Delphine_wmf before onboarding, I review the list to see if anything has changed and update accordingly (I haven't done that here). When a new person joins, I ask them to let me know if anything is confusing and ask them to update the onboarding doc if they find anything out of date or missing.

Past examples:

@Aklapper FYI this was created/shared as an example of how Phabricator can be useful in onboarding processes.

Thanks. Where is the canonical source of this task description located?

• Delphine_wmf added a comment.Oct 20 2020, 12:33 PM

@Aklapper not sure what you mean. Maybe @kzimmerman can help. This was jsut a copy/paste from one of the tasks she had and adjusts to onboard people on her team.

Aklapper added a comment.Oct 20 2020, 12:43 PM

I guessed that the copy and paste comes from somewhere, and is not reinvented every time, so I guess there is a place where it is taken from. :)

@Aklapper here's the source: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Product_Analytics/Onboarding

@Delphine_wmf: Hmm, is there anything actionable in this task? Maybe I misunderstand why it was created? :)

• Delphine_wmf added a comment.Mar 1 2021, 2:24 PM

Ha, it was created to provide me with a copy of what Kate is using in her onboarding process, as I gather different things around how people use onboarding checklists. Does that answer your question?

Aklapper added a comment.Mar 3 2021, 12:03 AM

@Delphine_wmf: Ah, thanks! If this is not an actionable task then could you set the status to invalid (via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown) please? (For future reference, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/paste/ may be better suited for "dropping information" that's not actionable.) Thanks! :)
