TEC14: Smart Tools for Better Data
 * Goal Owner: Nuria Ruiz
 * Program Goals for FY18/19: We will maintain and increase public access to past, present and real time data for Wikimedia projects. We will provide the infrastructure to measure the impact and reach of projects and features for editors, communities and WMF.
 * Annual Plan: TEC14: Smart Tools for Better Data
 * Primary Goal is Knowledge as a Service: Evolve our systems and structures
 * Tech Goal: Supporting our Community of contributors

December 2018
 * Discussed...

Outcome / Output
Wikimedia Cloud Services users have easy access to high quality analytics data to answer questions about content and contributors.
 * In this iteration (spanning several quarters) the Data Lake will include historical data about editing (revisions, pages, users) for all Wikimedia projects since the beginning. Data is optimized to be queried in an analytics-friendly way that allows for simple and fast queries.

Goal(s)

 * Presto cluster online and usable with test data pushed from analytics prod infrastructure accessible by Cloud (labs) users
 * Edit Data Lake Quality: Resolve known issues (ongoing goal)

Status
October 19, 2018
 * This is yet to be started and is in a status.

November 14, 2018
