Synopsis
The Programs & Events Dashboard is a tool that assists the management of wiki programs and events. It has a set of documentation pages and training modules hosted on the platform that need improvements and need to be updated to satisfy a majority of the user needs, such as including more demo videos, incorporating more user experience feedback, and addressing user questions into the new and improved dashboard documentation.
The project aims to improve the documentation on:
- https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training to be more informative and updated.
- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs_%26_Events_Dashboard to include more demo videos and address more user questions and needs.
