Discover CapX: New Design, Features, and Ways to Connect
[edit]Hello Karavali Wikimedians!
My name is Amanda Jurno and I’m writing to you on behalf of the Capacity Exchange (CapX) team. We would like to invite you and your community to start using the CapX tool.
CapX is a platform designed for Wikimedians around the world to connect through skills and collaboration. It offers a simple and user-friendly way to find and engage with people who can offer specific expertise, helping make collaboration across the movement more efficient and accessible.
If you’d like a clearer sense of where we’re headed, you can read more about our Vision and Purpose here'. We’ve also prepared a simple visualisation of how CapX works. Additional documentation, FAQs, tutorials, and how-to videos are available on our Meta-Wiki page. The more your community joins CapX, the clearer your view becomes of how capacity-building is growing across your region via the CapX's Data Analytics dashboard.
If you experience any difficulties using the tool, you can consult our User Guide, which includes step-by-step tutorials and short videos explaining each feature. To get in touch with the CapX team, share feedback, or suggest improvements, feel free to email us at capx
wmnobrasil.org. For quick questions and updates, you can also join our Telegram channel.
We would be delighted to have Karavali Wikimedians join CapX’s growing network. Creating your organization profile only takes a few minutes and helps other affiliates discover your expertise, initiatives, and potential areas for collaboration. Here is what we need from you before you can start.
Finally, we invite you to subscribe to our newsletter channel to receive regular updates about CapX and the Capacity Exchange project - click here to subscribe.
We hope to see you exchanging soon!
