Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] A new landing page for the Wikimedia Research team

Hey all,

thanks for the great feedback. A couple of notes to expand on Jonathan's
response.

this is far from optimal. Due to production requirements, all code needs to
be on Gerrit, but asking people who want to suggest typo fixed to go
through the developer access instructions is a usability nightmare.
Jonathan's suggestion is a temporary solution, I'd like to work with Baha
to figure out if there's a possible workflow that allows us to receive PRs
and issues on GitHub, have them synced with Gerrit, before they are
reviewed and, if +2'ed, merged there. This may take a while so we
appreciate your patience.

Our assumption was that the place for volunteer communities to find
translated content is (and should be) on wiki, and we can tap all the
existing workflows for translation there as needed. The main audiences for
this landing page are (primarily English speaking) funding and research
organizations who don't know how to navigate content across 4+ wikis and a
number of external data / publication repositories. I support the idea of
translations, if we can make it work and if there's appetite for it, the
minimum viable content was intentionally conceived to be in English.

As an additional clarification: the Research Index on Meta remains the
central hub of all research projects created by the volunteer community,
academic researchers, and Wikimedia Foundation staff. This landing page
acts as a filter, and a thin layer of discoverability, to the contributions
made by the Wikimedia Research team to the Research Index (as well as
additional documentation that may exist across other wikis). Hope that
makes sense.
