Re: [Wikimedia-l] Chapters and GLAM tooling

[Erik Moeller]

Just pinging this thread -- looking through all the proposals for
annual plan grants:

I'm not seeing any developer contract time allocated to GLAM tooling
work yet. At the same time I'm seeing reports of breakage and missing
functionality in important tools running in Labs. To the extent that
this breakage is due to Labs infrastructure or access to data, it's
our job (WMF) to fix it and you should (continue to) poke us to do so
-- but to the extent that it can be addressed in the tools themselves,
I'd love to see chapters take this on directly. It's possible that I'm
missing something. Are there more concrete plans at this point in time
to help support the tools developed by Magnus and others, and create
new reports on an as-needed basis? Having a dedicated staff person in
chapters or an affilicate like Europeana who WMF analytics can partner
with would be really helpful for keeping this moving, in my view.

Thanks,
Erik
