=== Background ===
As a newcomer to the Wikimedia community and also my first experience as a professional developer in a team the onboarding has been a overwhelming and difficult experience. Given that it is a priority to acquire and retain 'non-wikimedians' and junior level developers I suggest that the [checklist for newly emplyed or trainees](https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Checklista_f%C3%B6r_nyanst%C3%A4llning_eller_ny_praktik) is complemented with a coherent recruitment process initially document based. [Several smaller](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2064/) initiatives are currently in progress. However, I see a lack of high (e.g. "culture, role-expectations") and middle-level (e.g. how and why we use the tools we use, suggestions on how to give feedback and support) introductions.
A fairly simple way to start would be to base it on the article about [onboarding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboarding) and fill in the learnings in a simple, straigth-forward language with links to further reading.
1.A general introduction to Wikimedia Sverige (all newcomers)
2.A role-specific introduction for developers (can be a template for other roles)
=== Goals ===
These goals are taken from the Wikipedia article on [onboarding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboarding). These can be continually measured as simply as talking about them at e.g. monthly 30 minute team meetings to adress them promptly by collaboratively making them actionable.
* higher job satisfaction
* better job performance
* greater organizational commitment
* eduction in occupational stress
* reduction in intent to quit
=== Suggested structure ===
1. People stuff
Expected behaviour at the office - shoes off, dishes, lunch-time, interrupting etc...
Expected behaviour in context [partners e.g.](T154901), user communities, journalists, membership vs employment etc
[Expected behaviour for MediaWiki developers](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Expected_behavior)
2. Tool stuff
Expected work tools vs tools you can choose [see e.g.](T155170)
