Using the Dashboard
The basic purpose of the dashboard is to provide an easy way to organize groups of editors who are working on a common project, and to make it easy to keep track of what they are doing and what they've contributed.
It is a spinoff of the Wiki Education Foundation’s WikiEdu Dashboard, which is only for education courses run by North American universities on English Wikipedia. Instead, the Programs and Events Dashboard works for a variety of programs on any language of just about any Wikimedia project.
