This page contains details about DASHBOARD.
DASHBOARD would be implemented with the help of a special page.
It would help admin monitor the conference. 
URL used for the dashboard would be something like http://<hostname>/<server-directory>/Special: Dashboard/conferenceName
Where the conferenceName signifies the title of the conference ,so the dashboard would be rendered with just the details of that conference.

Workflow

class - SpecialConferenceDashboard(subclass of SpecialPage)
Basic workflow is as follows:-
1. SpecialDashboardPage->execute($par) - gets the conference page depending on the $par 2. from this conference page_id ,all relevant pages from the page table can be extracted 3. model objects are created from the information extracted(here by model objects I mean objects storing the content of conference wiki pages) 4. then set all the variables of the Conference(model object) object with the other model objects created in step 3.
5. now we have all the details for the conference
6. create HTML for the dashboard and fill it with the help of Conference object
7 output the HTML using $out->addHTML()
8. since there are multiple tabs on the Dashboard, so at one particular time only a specific portion of HTML will be displayed( and the rest of the job of switching HTML would be done by js and jQuery)
9. any subsequent changes made by the admin on the Dashboard will be done by the ajax calls to the API modules.

Dashboard UI

These are all the tabs that DASHBOARD would display :-

PAGES

This would list all the active pages running under a particular conference. Here admin could add / delete these pages, or even could modify the title and the namespace for those pages. List of pages would be provided in links which would take the admin to those specific pages. These pages could also be modified from their respective pages where they have specially dedicated action tabs such as Delete and Move.

ORGANIZERS

This page is similar to what we would have in a Conference Setup process ( part two). Here new organizers could be added and old ones could be removed from the organizers category.By default organizers are placed in different categories such as Sponsorship Team , Software Team.. and many more. So for every organizer a category and a post would also be defined by the admin in this page.

Metrics such as how many times a page is viewed, how many times it was modified are displayed on this page.By default this activity feature is activated for all the conference pages , which can obviously be changed by admin at any time from here itself.This feature will make use of recent_changes table.
