[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Foundation's final Medium Term Plan and FY2019-2020 Annual Plan

2019-07-23 Thread Maria Cruz

Hello everyone,

After opening a community comment period in early April this year,
collecting and incorporating that feedback, we are happy to announce that
the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has approved our Medium Term
Plan for 2019-2023! You can view the final version here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Medium-term_plan_2019

This process wouldn’t have been possible without communities’
participation, and we want to thank each of you for taking the time away
from doing your favorite thing on the wikis to comment on our
organization’s plan for the next 5 years. This new process, which we
implemented for the first time this year, allows us to plan for a longer
time frame  It also gives us a more flexible structure for annual planning
that allows us to incorporate recommendations from the movement strategy.

Today, we are publishing both the Wikimedia Foundation’s Medium-term Plan
and our annual budget and plan for the fiscal year 2019-20. This 2019-20
plan is the first instance in this new planning process, and over the next
5 years, we will continue to create plans that focus on the priorities we
identified. We will review the progress towards our annual goals on a
quarterly basis, and continue to share these reports publicly.

We hope to continue these conversations and collaboration as we work
towards our strategic direction.

Cheers,

[Wikimedia-l] Introducing Wikimedia Space: A space for movement news and conversations

2019-06-25 Thread Maria Cruz

Hello everyone,

Today, the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Engagement department is
launching Wikimedia Space *[1]*, a platform for movement *[2]* organizers,
affiliates, contributors, partners, and the Foundation to share news,
questions, and conversations.

Learning from others has been the bedrock for development and growth in our
movement. With this platform, we want to promote these sorts of enriching
exchanges by welcoming people from every background to build strong and
diverse communities, breaking down the barriers for entry to our movement,
and focusing our efforts on facilitating collaboration, including from
communities that are new to our movement.

Wikimedia Space is a single place for collaboration, comprising Blog *[1]*
and Discuss *[3]* hubs. The Blog section provides a movement-wide platform
for project updates, recent events, and shared learnings. We have designed
editorial guidelines that allow everyone to share their news with others.
Wikimedia Space also allows anybody to add an event, which can be
discovered in a calendar *[4]* or a map *[5] *of the movement. We want this
new space to be safe and welcoming, especially for newcomers, and this is
why it is governed by a code of conduct *[6]*, and relies on active
community moderation.

Wikimedia Space is currently a prototype, built on WordPress *[7]* and
Discourse *[8]*. While at present it only operates in English, it will
evolve to include multiple languages in the near future. This project is
only possible with your participation. Spread the news and join Wikimedia
Space *[9]*!

Read more about the features you’ll find on our blog post. We have also
published posts on how to make this space yours, so it can best serve your
needs. You can find all the documentation for this project on its page on
Meta.

See you at Wikimedia Space!

2018-06-07 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi everyone,

As you may know, we recently funded 11 projects through Wikimedia
Foundation Project Grants program, initiatives that span from software
development, to online organizing, and offline outreach. In an effort to
increase awareness about these projects, and foster collaboration and
participation, we are hosting the first ever Wikimedia Project Showcase
this coming Thursday, June 13, at 9 am PST (1600 UTC).

You can join the showcase in one of two ways:

   - Join the video conference room using BlueJeans:
   https://bluejeans.com/570420589
   - watch the showcase online via Youtube following this link:
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjo8wg4wKw

Each participant will have 5 minutes to present about their project, share
why it matters, and how others can get involved. If you would like to
contribute your skills to a project, help out, or simply learn more about
the awesome work our communities are doing, please join us at the Wikimedia
Project Showcase next Thursday!


Looking forward to seeing many of you there,


María and Marti

[Wikimedia-l] Women in the Wikimedia movement: Conversations with communities

2018-03-05 Thread Maria Cruz

*Hi all, In honour of Women’s History Month, the Community Engagement
department is hosting a series of conversations with community members
about Women in the Wikimedia movement
,
and what their experience is like contributing to our projects. Our
conversations will focus on women within three strategic areas of our work:
Programs, Technical Spaces, and Leadership positions. Each conversation
will have two community members presenting on their work, and 15-20 minutes
at the end for conversation, follow up questions, and discussion. The goal
of these discussions is to foster understanding of challenges and
inequalities that women face throughout our movement, and to engage with
our communities to help better address them.These conversations will be
online events, streamed on YouTube, and hosted on BlueJeans. If you would
like to participate in these events, please add the event to your calendar,
or sign up on wiki: - Women in Wikimedia programs: Thursday, March 8, 2018,
17:00 UTC (add to calendar
)
(sign up on wiki
)
Presenters: Monika Sengul-Jones (OCLC Wikipedian in Residence) and Luisina
Ferrante (Wikimedia Argentina education coordinator). - Women in
leadership: Wednesday, March 14, 2018, 19:00 UTC (add to calendar
)
(sign up on wiki
)
Presenters: Mervat Salman (Wiki Arabia 2015 organizer) and Natalia
Szafran-Kozakowska (CEE Spring coordinator, and Polish Wikipedia sysop) -
Women in technical spaces: Wednesday, March 21st, 15:00 UTC (add to
calendar
)
(sign up on wiki

Presenters: Josephine Lim (Mediawiki contributor) and Ciell (organizer of
all-women hackathon in the Netherlands).If you find this conversation
series interesting, I would greatly appreciate your support spreading the
word. Please feel free to invite anyone you think might have something to
add to the conversations, as well. I look forward to seeing many of you
online!Best, María*

[Wikimedia-l] What does leadership mean in the Wikimedia movement? Presentation on Thursday, Nov 16

2017-11-13 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all!

Since July 2016 [1], the Learning and Evaluation team has been invested in
understanding what leadership means in our movement, and how we can best
support it. On Thursday, November 16 at 9 am PST (1700 UTC), we will host a
public meeting to share what we have learned so far, and how we have been
working to support community leaders. Follow the stream here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbg2w0RnFk and ask questions via IRC
(#wikimedia-office).

The first step was the Leadership Development Dialogue, a conversation
about what leadership means for our communities, and how the Wikimedia
Foundation can best support it. It was hosted by the Learning and
Evaluation team, part of the Community Engagement department.

The conversation touched on topics like what words best suited this area of
work, and also what skills identified a good leader, and how we could best
collaborate across the movement to provide support within our existing
infrastructures (e.g., Learning Days [2] and the Wikimedia Resource Center
[3]) and beyond.

What does this mean to your local community and your work? How can you join
these efforts?

Join us to learn more about what we have learned from community members
about leadership in the movement, and where we want to go next.
Participation is encouraged via IRC (#wikimedia-office). A recording of the
event will be available later on our youtube channel.

Hope to see many of you there!

Best,

[Wikimedia-l] Presenting Community Engagement Insights 2016-17 Report: Tuesday, Oct 10, 1600 UTC

2017-10-04 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,

In 2016, the Wikimedia Foundation initiated a new project, called Community
Engagement Insights, under which we designed a Wikimedia Contributors and
Communities survey, that aims to improve the alignment between the
Wikimedia Foundation and the communities it serves.

In this project, Foundation staff designed hundreds of questions that were
organized into a single, comprehensive, online survey. The Foundation sent
the survey to many different types of Wikimedians, including editors,
affiliates, program leaders, and technical contributors.

After completing the basic analysis, we now want to share some of what we
learned and what's next. On Tuesday, October 10, at 10 am PST, we will hold
a public meeting, where we will present some of the data we found and how
different teams might use it, offer guidance on how to navigate the report,
and open the space for questions. Join in the conversation! You can watch
the livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXpL-OUdNU , and ask
question via IRC on #wikimedia-office.


We look forward to seeing many of you you at the presentation!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Introducing the Wikimedia Resource Center

2017-07-28 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,

Last January we announced the roll out of the Wikimedia Resource Center,
[1] a hub intended as a single point of entry for Wikimedians all over the
world to the variety of resources and types of Wikimedia Foundation staff
support they may need to develop new initiatives or expand existing ones.
The Wikimedia Resource Center’s beta version is now live on Meta Wikimedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center

The redesign of the hub was informed by user-testing sessions at the
Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin and feedback gathered on the talk page
of the hub. We have ordered resources by user types to make them easier to
navigate, and now all Wikimedians can add resources developed by
themselves, other individuals or organizations to the hub. The next step
for the Wikimedia Resource Center is to include features that will enable
Wikimedians to better connect with other Wikimedians that can support them.

We are currently performing more testing and working to incorporate a link
to the Wikimedia Resource Center from different community spaces, and it
will be presented at Wikimania 2017 in Montréal. If you are interested in
taking part in this conversation, please contact me, and if you are coming
to Wikimania, join our session [2] to discuss how we best learn from each
other in the Wikimedia movement.

We want to hear what you think about this new version and would like to
also invite you to submit your comments about it privately, via direct
email to me, or publicly on the talk page.

We’d like to thank Nirzar Pangarkar, Carolyn Li-Madeo and Volker Eckl,key
allies in bringing the new design to life, for all their support in this
project! Also a shout-out goes to James Hare, our technical design intern,
who has done great work of processing all the documentation on the WRC,
understanding its history and goal, and creating amicable interfaces for
contributors.

We are looking forward to more collaborations!

Best,

María

[Wikimedia-l] Introducing the Wikimedia Resource Center

2017-01-24 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,

As we have stated in our annual plan [1], “currently, community members
must search many pages and places to stay informed about Foundation
activities and resources.” We have worked in the past two quarters to
create a single point of entry. We call it the Wikimedia Resource Center,
and its alpha version is now live on Meta Wikimedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center

As the movement expands to include more affiliates and more programmatic
activities every year, newer Wikimedians are faced with lack of experience
in the movement and its various channels for requesting support. In order
to expand Wikimedia communities’ efforts, we want to provide easy access to
resources that support their very important work. The [[m:Wikimedia
Resource Center]] is a hub designed in response to this issue: it is
intended to evolve into a single point of entry for Wikimedians all over
the world to the variety of resources and types of staff support they may
need to develop new initiatives or also expand existing ones.

This version of the Resource Center is only the beginning. For phase two of
the project, we will enable volunteer Wikimedians to add resources
developed by other individuals or organizations to the Wikimedia Resource
Center, and in phase three, the Wikimedia Resource Center will include
features to better connect Wikimedians to other Wikimedians that can
support them.

We want to hear what you think about this prototype and our plans for it!
If you have comments about the Wikimedia Resource Center, you can submit
your feedback publicly, on the Talk Page, or privately, via a survey hosted
by a third party, that shouldn’t take you more than 4 minutes to complete.
A feedback button is on the top right corner on every page of the hub.

Looking forward to more collaborations!

Best,

María

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Technical Design Intern Search | Job description

2016-11-02 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi Pine,
I agree with Dan here.
I also wanted to send an update on the job search. After receiving some
feedback, we have adjusted the job description to say the following:

*We’d like you to have these skills:*

The Technical Design Intern should have the following experience and
personal characteristics:

- Experience in MediaWiki mark-up and technical communications experience
in designing for web content curation and user flow
- Proficiency in at least three of the following programming languages:
Javascript, Lua, Python, MySQL
- Experience developing or administrating MediaWiki websites
- A strong interest in archival systems, searchability and usable portals
on wiki.
- High energy for, and commitment to, the Wikimedia Foundation’s free
knowledge mission
- Strong track record of positive and friendly communication with diverse
cultural and language communities
- Proven ability to adhere to deadlines and to seek out learning & support
for collaborative projects
- Willingness to accommodate scheduling requirements of frequent
interactions across time zones, with collaborators from around the world
- Technical skills for designing Wikimedia templates and pages

*And it would be even more awesome if you have this:*

- Understanding of the existing landscape of different Wikimedia programs
(a plus)
- Strong record of contributing to Wikimedia projects (a major plus)

We appreciate all the feedback we got and hope that you share this search
with those who might be interested.

As to your newest follow-up question:

> Would it make sense to have some integration between
> the redesigned Evaluations portal with the Communications Center and the
> resources on Outreach wiki?


The Evaluation portal [1] and the Communications Resource Center [2] are
two different portals on Meta Wikimedia that serve different needs and
audiences. The resources on Outreach Wikimedia are, in turn, organized in
different portals as well, on a different Wikimedia project. All of these
are known issues, and this is why we proposed to develop the Wikimedia
Resource Center, a hub that can improve findability of resources.

To read more about the goals of the Wikimedia Resource Center, please go to
the Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan [3]. To learn more about the goals of
the Evaluation portal, please visit the section "Introduction to
Evaluation" in said portal [4].

Sorry for the late response, I had this email in draft for a long time! Do
let me know if you have follow up questions.

Best,

María

[Wikimedia-l] We need your input: Building a shared vision of “Leadership”

2016-09-20 Thread Maria Cruz

*TL:DR: The Community Engagement department invites you to participate in
the Leadership Development Dialogue now through October 16th [1].*


Hello there,

One of the really valuable parts of our community, is the growing number of
volunteers who step beyond their comfort zone, and become guides, mentors,
and leaders for other parts of the volunteer community. This act of
emerging, to take on responsibilities that strengthen our community is
widespread, but also something that we need to embrace, refine and improve,
so that we have the capacity to meet our broader mission.

From now through October 16th, the Community Engagement department invites
you to participate in an online dialogue about just how to describe and
build the leadership capacity. Please invite all who may be interested by
forwarding to your local community mailing lists, and be sure to join us
at: [1]
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Leadership_Development_Dialogue

In particular, we need your help:

   -

   Improving the “Learning Days” and other leadership development programs
   supported by the WMF and other organizations
   -

   Refining the language and concepts we use to describe “leadership” -- in
   our initial exploratory engagement of focus groups, we found that the word
   “leader” does not translate well across language and cultures.


In behalf of the Community Engagement department, we hope to see you on the
wiki!

2016-02-10 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,
to follow up on Maggie's email, I wanted to share that Program Capacity and
Learning team is reaching out to community members to comment on our draft
roadmap [1]. In this coming year, we look forward to our shared learning
and support to leaders across the movement.

Importantly, we could use some help in defining what that year looks like!
Between now and February 19th, we are asking for your input in prioritizing
support to program leaders and affiliates through our newly integrated
Program Capacity and Learning Team. Our new team, in addition to supporting
 education programs, libraries, and learning and evaluation, will also
support GLAM and Affiliate Partnerships. We have been consulting with
different program and community leaders and have developed a few ideas for
which we would like your input [1].  Please share your views on our
criteria for resources as well as concepts for support. Your input will
help guide our 2016-2017 Annual Plan submission. We will host office hours
on IRC on Tuesday, February 16, at 8 am PST. Sign up to the event via
Google [2] or Facebook [3].

Hope to see many of you on Meta!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Re : New WMF initiative: Community Capacity Development

2015-09-03 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi Pine,
Thanks for bringing this up.
 We have actually talked with Asaf and Sati about possible ways in which
the CCD initiative could inform toolkit development, in order to make sure
to keep them relevant, specially for emerging communities. One of the
things we want to do is user testing of the current toolkits, and also
develop new ones, based on what emerges as a high demand.

It is important, though, to give CCD initiative time, and room to generate
consensus around what are high demand capacities. We can certainly link to
the CCD initiative from the L portal.

The workshop kits that Rosemary is referring to are resources to be able to
host L workshops anywhere in the Wikimedia movement. You can see the
draft on my Sandbox
.
This addresses the need for extending training across the movement, without
this being dependent only on L staff. Once we have them published, we can
see how we could incorporate them to the CCD pages, as they also serve to
develop capacity.

Let me know if you have further questions or comments, or other ideas that
came up, happy to hear them!

Best,

María

Wikimedians, educators, those who are already running Wikipedia Education
Programs, and those who are already using the Wikimedia projects in
educational settings, as well as those who are curious about it. This
session will present successful models, pitfalls, and protocols that will
help everyone make the most of their education program.

*Saturday*

to great ideas, plan and implement them in a great way but no one else
hears about, other than those involved in the activity. This tutorial will
try to cover how event organizers can reach out to bigger (and the right)
audience, among other things.

I hope that at some point WLM organizers can be given the tools, enthusiasm

hope that some of the flaws can be avoided thanks to a better understanding
of the collaborations, structures and the projects in general.

The Evaluation portal on Meta [1] has all the resources we use, open to
organizers of any program. There is a guide to using the portal resources
[2]. We also host virtual meet ups regularly to develop capacity around
evaluation, that are recorded and available on our Youtube channel [3]
under CC license. The Learning and Evaluation team is open to have
conversations one on one as well! =)

We are always encouraging program leaders to engage in this conversation:
what metrics matter to this program, what is relevant to measure. Happily,
this is the conversation we had with some WLM organizers yesterday [4],
which is also taking place on WLM Report talk page [5].

All in all it is good to have something 'to shoot at' but I would prefer
that these reports are produces more in concert with the stakeholders
involved and affected, rather than 'announced' and 'presented' to the wide
community.

This isn't true. We always reach out to program leaders to engage in data
collection. Further, had you taken part of the event, or even watched it,
or read the blog we wrote [6], you would have seen nothing is presented or
announced, rather, open for discussion and conversation.

Claudia, I share your concerns about reducing subtle things to a few

Figuring out what ideas are repeatable, scalable, or awesome but one-time

I'm glad to see data being shared, and again it might help to have many

But these information does not get the same attention and publicity in

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments on the first two program evaluation reports. This
is the kind of feedback we are looking for coming from the community, and
for that reason, we want to continue this conversation and learn more about
what goals and metrics make more sense to program leaders.

As many of you know, today we held an open virtual event to introduce the
first Wikimedia Programs Evaluation Reports 2015. You can now watch the
recorded event online [1].

We have also captured some of the conversation that started on Wiki Loves
Monuments list on the report's Talk Page [2]. Many community members have
already contributed their views there. We want to encourage everyone to
keep the conversation on the talk page, which will allow us to document all
the feedback and keep track of it.

Looking forward to your feedback and happy editing!

 Yes, I think that this may be considered the central problem.

 It's easier to compare two different scenarios with a standard measure and
 to use kilos to compare apples and oranges, for instance.

 The problem is to understand that oranges will continue to be oranges after
 this measure, and apples will continue to be apples.

 This is an example to say that several countries focus their contest in
 quality, some others in quantity.

 The prize and the contest, anyway, is focused to select the better photo
 and not the biggest uploaders.

 It means that there is no sense to force the quantitative parameters while
 the incentives are focused to increase quality.

 Personally I find the same measure costs/uploads a lot far from the most
 correct measure costs/benefits because we cannot consider a single upload
 automatically as a benefit.

 In my opinion the most critical point is how measure costs (the workload of
 a community is it a cost?) and the benefits (a huge amount of worst photos
 is it a benefit?) because it involves several not measurable parameters.

[Wikimedia-l] Show Wikimedia some love: Let's Talk Diversity

2015-02-13 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,

(Pardon the cross-posting)

Starting today, we want to show Wikimedia some love in a very special way:
talking about diversity! [1]

Diversity in Wikimedia projects is key to achieve our shared vision: that
anyone can contribute in the sum of all knowledge. We know many efforts
have been made to bridge many gaps.

Have you:

* preserved your cultural or national history through photo contests and
editing events?

* worked to enrich a particular language or cultural group on Wikimedia?

* studied diversity issues in online communities?

_What have you learned when trying to encourage diversity on Wikimedia?_

The Learning and Evaluation team invites all community members to share
what they know about bringing diversity on Wikimedia projects. This
initiative seeks to create a body of knowledge around diversity outcomes
for events, projects and programs, in a way to give support to
Grantmaking’s Inspire Campaign (coming up the first week of March). If you
worked to make Wikimedia projects more diverse, in content or community, what
has worked for you? what has not worked? Share what you know with the world!

There are multiple ways to engage:

1. Share a problem

2. Share a solution

3. Endorse problems and solutions to vote them up in importance

4. Writing a Learning Pattern (that addresses any of the problems/solutions
shared)

We will be awarding our brand new LE Barnstars[2] to contributors during
this special campaign =)

Visit the campaign page [1] to contribute and discuss, and if you are
twitter user, use #ILoveDiversity to promote the campaign for others to
participate.

Happy editing!

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2014 Evaluation Survey Results Posted!

2014-11-26 Thread Maria Cruz

*tl;dr: *You can find the results of the Wikimania 2014 Evaluation Survey
on Wikimedia Commons *[1]*

Greetings,

Today we posted a slide deck summarizing data from the Wikimania evaluation
survey from this year’s event in London. The survey was a collaborative
effort of the Wikimania Conference and Hackathon organizers and the WMF
Learning and Evaluation team. Conferences and hackathons had been
identified as key programs to develop evaluation insight. Given the
opportunity to collaborate on an evaluation survey, WMF team members
partnered with conference and hackathon organizers to provide the technical
support to complete the survey project.

This first survey offers a look into the processes and outcomes of the
conference. It is intended as a means for participants to share what they
got out of the conference and a platform to collect information on how we
can improve future conferences and their evaluation. We have released a
basic data summary and meta page with brief highlights of the survey and
link to a pdf slide deck published to Commons *[1]*.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Case_studies/Wikimania_London_Survey_Results

== Methodology ==

* Online survey via Qualtrics *[2]*

* Data collection:

** August 10th – September 15th, 2014

** Conference participants: 1520

** Survey Respondents: n=792 (52% of conference participants)

=== The Conference Overall ===

* Participants were highly satisfied with the conference overall.

* 91% of respondents rated the conference as Good (48%) or Excellent
(43%)

* 87% indicated their expectations had been met (48%) or exceeded (39%)

* The most named benefits of attending Wikimania were meeting people and
finding out about projects.

Please visit the page *[3]* for basic details or follow the links to the
slide deck *[1]*. The complete survey data are available upon request and
will be used by both the conference and the hackathon planning groups for
their use in planning for future events and their evaluation. In addition,
the Learning and Evaluation team will also work to review and incorporate
these results, along with evaluation data from other conferences, in the
second round of Program Evaluation reports currently in progress. The
conference financial report is also underway, however, it will also be
available sometime in the new year. Keep an eye out for these additional
points of reporting to become available in early 2015!

On behalf of all who have collaborated in this evaluation survey, those
who helped with its development, the 792 participants who completed it, and
those involved in the its analysis, and now, interpretation: thank you for
your time, attention, and support! We are happy to be part in this

 Hi John (All)

 On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation let me give you a heartfelt thanks
 for all that you have done for both Wikimedia UK and the Wikimedia Movement
 as a whole. Being the first Chief Executive is always a hard job and
 requires a positive attitude and lots of energy in order to motivate people
 to join you on a risky journey. Having made a good start with WMUK I can
 imagine that leaving it behind is not easy, but I have confidence that the
 staff, board and volunteers in the United Kingdom will manage to build on
 the foundation that you have put in place.

 I think we are all happy to hear that you will still be a volunteer, and
 hopefully our paths will cross in the future.

 Best wishes for your next challenge!

[Wikimedia-l] Introducing Learning Quarterly, the newsletter from Learning and Evaluation team

2014-10-20 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi all,

A few months ago, the Learning and Evaluation team started a new
communication outlet to reach out to the Wikimedia community: Learning
Quarterly, a newsletter that has recently launched its second issue.

Find it on Meta at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Newsletter/2014/1/2

Through this means we seek to share the learning about programs and
practices taking place in the movement, including information around new
learning resources, blog posts written by the team, learning patterns, and
recent initiatives in IdeaLab that need community support.

Learning is a key aspect of community and program development[1], and we
strive to socialize this knowledge to the community at large. Help us by
spreading the word! [2]

If you want to find out what were the hot topics from the past quarter,
read further on metrics, or learn what other community members are doing in
different parts of the world, subscribe to the Global Message delivery list
[3] and have it sent to your wiki of preference. You can also read the
latest issue on the Evaluation portal on Meta [4] or subscribe to our
bi-weekly announcements *[5]*.

If you are coordinating a Wikimedia program or project, and would like to
be featured in the newsletter, please leave a comment on the Second issue
Discussion page or email e...@wikimedia.org

Cheers!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Be part of the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs!

2014-09-25 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi Pine,
thank you for your detailed response. Answers in line!


On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Pine W wiki.p...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi Anasuya,

 Thanks for this announcement. It will be interesting to see what we learn
 from this round.

 I have a few questions.

 * People may feel more comfortable with providing reports in languages that
 are familiar to them. Are responses allowed in languages other than
 English?


Yes, they are. Open-ended text responses may be answered in different
languages, as well. Text boxes are dominant in the survey to make the
process less rigid. While we may need to follow up for clarification after
translation, we definitely are willing to work with those reporting to make
the process as light as possible. Further, category names should be
reported as they would appear in the project they exist in, not translated
to English.




 * The Start Date and End Date fields allow free-form text. Will that
 create any difficulties for the people who compile and analyze the
 information from these reports?


Actually, the fields are open text, because, if we add validation, it
requires the answer and will not permit a reporter who does not have the
exact dates, or someone who only has a date and not hour, to advance
through the rest of the reporting form. Instead, we do offer an open box,
optional to complete, and instruct responses to be in the MM/DD/YY:00:00
(UTC) format.  We will clean up the data along with the rest of the
analysis.



 * What is the definition of quality content?


There are many definitions of quality content, many of which have no easy
measure. In this question set , we expect the indicators listed to assess
how much content was affected: Number of bytes added (Bytes added, positive
sum in Wikimetrics), Number of bytes removed (Bytes added, negative sum in
Wikimetics), Number of new articles that were created (Pages created,
namespace 0 in Wikimetrics), Number of photos/media uploaded to Wikimedia
Commons, and Number of Wikimedia pages improved.

Later on in the survey, along with other outcomes rather than outputs, we
also ask for metrics indicating “quality”. For images, these metrics
include number of uniques images used, number of Wikimedia projects using
images, and the number of images which are awarded “quality image,” “valued
image,” or “featured picture” status. For article content, these metrics
include number of articles which are awarded  “featured article” or
“quality article” status.



 * The statement Please upload your txt or csv file of your participant
 usernames. raises an interesting privacy question. Should program leaders
 be uploading those usernames if consent forms were not obtained? Also, do
 different standards apply if, at the end of the Qualtrics report, the
 program leader who is completing the survey selects the option to allow all
 data from the survey form to be public?


Yes, that is an important clarification we can make. Importantly, opt-in
procedures should be followed in order to collect usernames at in-person
events for use in Wikimetrics. The use of this tool, housed on servers in
the US, automatically transfers data internationally (for anyone outside of
the U.S.) [1].  If usernames for a program exist publically (eg,on an event
page, or online elsewhere) we suggest an opt-out procedure for Wikimetrics
as well, but it is as a courtesy as the data have already been exchanged
internationally and publically via the internet in such a case. Regardless,
no individual usernames will appear in any level of reporting. However, we
need to have username list used for reporting. This will allow us to
validate the data, as well as have the ability to pull additional metrics,
if needed, as we proceed with analysis and reporting.

We have now added further clarification.

We have changed the language from:

Please upload your txt or csv file of your participant usernames.


to:

Please upload your txt or csv file of your participant usernames.

Note: If you have collected usernames from an in-person event as the only
record of participation, there are some important steps that may apply
[1].  If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality of user
names please reach out to the evaluation team and we can help you determine
what is appropriate.




 * I am confused by the question that ends with the report. It starts with
 the statement that Although we will not share reporting data in an
 identifiable way... and then proceeds to ask if the person completing the
 report will allow WMF to share the name of my program along with my
 reported data so that people can see how we did. Can you clarify this
 situation?


Last round of reporting we used the standard privacy language to assure
complete anonymity of direct reporters as a general privacy decision to
maximize comfort and accuracy in reporting. When we published our first
round of reports with such a high level of anonymity, a number of community
members protested

2014-05-21 Thread Maria Cruz

Hi,
anyone knows if this MET initiative[1] is viable to have a reverberation in
Commons, or if it is already a project in the community?

I see this is very similar to the British Library donation, on December
2013[2], that quickly started to spread on to Commons[3].

Any knowledge about this would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

María
