Board Mandate

About
Board Member	Malcolm McClintock
Support	Mulatu Astatke, Lupin, MF Doom
Start Date	Nov 16, 2015
Expected Completion Date	May 1, 2020
Category	Culture

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

Goals first set when the mandate was created

• 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

Things accomplished & learned along the way

• 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

Additional Info

This is a section that will appear at the end of a mandate if you desire to provide more information. You can fill it as you wish. I've yet to find a way to allow you to add and insert your own content whole-cloth.
