Why are you proposing this project? Wikimedia Foundation staff (point person: @FRomeo_WMF) need regular access to system-wide data about the programs, events and other organized editing activity tracked by Programs & Events Dashboard (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/). To date, this has been generated manually upon request, but we need a way to provide convenient access to the data on a regular basis. Related improvements for collecting and presenting data about the overall utilization of the Dashboard would make it easier to show off the impact that the Dashboard and its users are making across the Wikimedia ecosystem.
What is the expected impact? This will help WMF collect and analyze data about the many and varied programmatic editing projects that Wikimedians around the world are organizing.
