All fantastic stuff!! :) Thanks, Julien, Jan and Erik for taking the initiative on this and getting things setup!
I'll start gathering notes and chat with Moiz on the best way to show a link on the portal page to direct users that would want to test out our ideas. We'll also need to redo the "testing" site page so that each test is clearly explained and give the users a chance to make comments in a Phab ticket for the test. So exciting! :) Cheers, Deb -- Deb Tankersley Product Manager, Discovery Wikimedia Foundation On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 9:32 AM, Adam Baso <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, had a similar concern.
