Extension:Education Program/July 2015 roadmap notes

Summary

 * The Wiki Education Foundation (WEF) created an education dashboard. This Fall, they'll use the dashboard instead of the Education Program Extension.
 * It's possible to adapt the WEF's dashboard for WMF Education Program courses and host it on our own servers.
 * This will reduce our dependence on the Education Program Extension, which has proved difficult to maintain and improve.
 * In the longer term, the WMF could work towards creating better on-wiki tools for different kinds of group collaboration (courses, projects, edit-a-thons, translation campaigns). In relation to this larger effort, the WEF's dashboard can serve as a testing ground for features and UI design that could be integrated into such more general tools.
