This mandate template is meant to demonstrate what the completed project will look like. There are still some shortcomings, as it is built on a template and preceptibly limits what you can do. Nevertheless, this is hoping to open the door to getting Board Members to start editing their own accomplishments.

Context

The EUSwiki first saw light on November 16, 2015. Initially it had no immediate direction or shape; arguably it still doesn't. But with each new successful or failed article, extension, stylization, the wiki better approaches it's true form. This template is meant to integrate EUS governance and those who uphold it into the wiki, self-sustainably. Currently there is no expectation of any member in a position to update the wiki with their actions.

Goals

Initial Deliverables

• Make editing the wiki quick, easy, and accessible
• Make the medium by which pages are created mostly formatted
• Track the progress of each mandates as well as all mandates

Takeaways

*It's messier on the inside than you think

• Customizing a mandate with pictures and stuff still requires basic knowledge of editing a wiki
• Editing variable names after the fact could be annoying
• Only 12 rows are available on the timeline currently
  There are many pitfalls
