• Additional agenda topics?
• Announcements?
• Wiki access question?
• Intros for any new attendees

How did the workshop go?

• 20+ attendees
• Structured to have multiple points of hands-on activity throughout, with increasing complexity
• Abandoned use of Dashboard due to lags in updates displayed
• All positive in-person feedback at conference
• 0 responses to post-workshop survey (which was linked from Wikidata Workshop Event page, and mentioned in presentation/slide deck)

Takeaways?

• Editing Wikidata on mobile devices is problematic
  • phone login attempts raise security flags/denied access messages
  • tablet login results in mobile view that is missing certain editing options
• Teaching other people something new right after learning it yourself is optimal time - teacher is acutely aware of learning challenges, empathetic to new learners, less blind spots.
