Synopsis

The project aims to improve the user experience of the Programs & Events Dashboard, a tool used for tracking edits to Wikipedia articles. The goal is to make it more user-friendly for event organizers to configure the Dashboard to track only the articles they want, by enhancing the event creation user interface for Article Scoped Programs. The improved user experience will benefit Wikimedia projects by making it easier for event organizers to track the progress of their programs and contribute to the improvement of Wikipedia articles.

About Me

I am an undergraduate student pursuing Computer Science & Engineering at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I am in my third year. My expected year of graduation is 2024. I heard about this program from my university and friends who attended previous programs. I am currently in my internship period, which ends in June. I think that I have the opportunity to utilize my skills and knowledge to create a functional and efficient dashboard that provides a great user experience. It means being able to collaborate with other team members to implement new features and improvements that can benefit the end-users.
