Is there a page yet somewhere on this? If not, I'd be grateful if someone could ping me with a link when one is created. Thanx. Alsee (talk) 23:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Regarding "In-context help"

I think that in principle this is a good idea.

I'm going to speak mostly about English Wikipedia here, but I think that many of my comments will also apply to Commons, German Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites with highly developed (some might say "complex and confusing") community policies and practices.

Creating well-designed onboarding is much more complex than one might first think, as I discovered when I started to work on [[LearnWiki.

I realize that one of the goals for these kinds of help systems should be to present topics in ways that users with little knowledge of policies and tools can quickly learn what they need to know without being overwhelmed. This requires a lot of careful thought and ideally some support from analytics and research.

I plan to continue my work on a volunteer basis for the foreseeable future in what I am currently calling "Phase 2" of my project. I request that WMF sync with me regarding what it plans to do in order to minimize duplicate work, take advantage of my existing knowledge and vision for Phase 2 of my project, and try to synchronize timelines and goals where possible.
