Create a checklist the onboarding lead

I'd like a list of all the tasks I have to complete as the onboarding lead each time we have a new person join 18F. This "Automated tasks for onboarding" document and this "Onboarding setup" are good places to start.

Acceptance criteria:

• Instructions on adding new hires to organization wide listservs
  • TTS wide listserv

Broken Checklist Links

This is an ongoing thread of broken links during my onboarding.

Where does the current new hire checklist differ for feds?

We've got a new hire checklist for folks joining 18F from the private sector, but I think the checklist is different for people joining 18F from other parts of the federal government. What needs to be changed about the new hire checklist to make it relevant and useful for feds?

First Month, #4, Relationship to OCSIT 404'd

I believe it should have been linking to this page: https://handbook.18f.gov/welcome-from-aaron/, but considering Aaron's departure, I am unsure if it should be going somewhere else. Regardless, attached is a screenshot of what I get when I click on the link.

Combine Engineering Facilitator and Dev checklists?

Not quite sure that I understand why these two are split:

• https://github.com/18F/onboarding-documents/blob/master/Checklists/team-based-checklists/dev-new-hire-checklist.md
• https://github.com/18F/onboarding-documents/blob/master/Checklists/engineering-facilitator-checklist.md

Seems like the main difference is the Who Has Information / Completes Task, but that's already reflected in a column. Or am I misunderstanding the intention?

Onboarding tasks for NYC

There are a handful of tasks that are specific to new 18F staff in NYC:

• Getting a transit card
• Add them to the NYC mailing list
• Reach out Civic Hall to get them set up with the booking system, Slack, etc., and possibly to buy additional seats (not clear on how this works)

Not sure where these should go...the Handbook page? Checklistomania? Presumably there are similar tasks for other locations, so we should figure out where they go in general.

Team API

It is unclear what does adding ourself to the team API do. I initially thought it adds our profile to the 18F website, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Convert checklists to YAML

We can then render them with Jekyll, which will make updating this a lot easier than editing blocks of HTML. Requires #10 for using 18F Pages, unless we want to put it behind authentication (which I don't think is necessary).

place for offboarding checklist?

Our offboarding tasks our currently listed in a spreadsheet...maybe it would make sense to put them in this repository, even though "onboarding" is in the title?

Is there a good reason not to?
