Hi all,

This thread is diverging more and more away from its original subject.
Please open a new thread if you're interested in discussing items not
directly related to Quim's email re CoC. This can help the audience of this
list with discovery of relevant content and discussions later on.

Thanks,
Leila

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Chris "Jethro" Schilling]

I think the calendar I mentioned above on Meta probably could be improved
in some ways. If a lot of folks start using it, it will become quite long,
for one. An archiving system for each month might be a good idea.

What ways could there be to sort or segment the calendar that would be
useful for volunteers to search and parse important discussions, surveys,
 and consultations?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Please ..

From my perspective we should not talk about secondary topics like this. We
should certainly not be this aggressive. I said it before and I say it
again. When you are interested in what we aim to achieve talk about WHAT we
can do to do better and let HOW we can do better from an organisational
point of view be only supportive of our objectives.
Thanks,

Really?  As a Community Organiser within the Community Engagement part of
the Foundation, do you not believe that the Foundation has some kind of
responsibility too?  Perhaps the Foundation, with its tens of millions of
dollars and hundereds of staff, and its ownership and control of the means
of communcation, might consider whether it can organise its engagement with
a disparate community on a more sophisticated basis than telling the
volunteers that it's their responsbility to know how to engage effectively
with the Foundation?  Let me ask to to reread your comments from the point
of view of a volunteer whose work builds the projects and ask yourself
whether the attitude embodied in your comment is not just ever so slightly
sub-optimal?  Are you completely satsifed that there is nothing at all that
the Foundation could or should do to improve the engagement it has with the
community?

FYI, Edward Galvez has been maintaining this calendar that has been going
for a while that chapters and staff have been using for various
consultations, surveys, and RfCs.


https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Calendar


Seems to me this is a good approach to avoid the issue of "my inbox is
inundated with so many notices" while also informing community members with
what is going on.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Chico Venancio]

Pine,
Of course we could benefit from consolidation and pruning of communication
channels. This has been the case for at least a decade, how to do that
without alienating part of the community that uses the pruned channels is a
very difficult task, however.
Nevertheless, this does not mean one can claim he did not get involved with
an issue because it was communicated too many times over too many places,
or rather, though one can claim that it is unlikely he will be taken
seriously.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Pine W]

My point is more or less the same one that you're making. Communications
(too much and too little) and information overload are both challenges. I
don't think there's going to be a silver bullet solution, but I hope that
WMF will invest effort into addressing this set of problems during the next
Annual Plan. Some of this is WMF-specific, but some of it also relates to
how we've organized ourselves in the community through organic growth and
over time we've developed so many channels that one wonders if we would
benefit from some consolidation and pruning.

[David Gerard]

You mean, "how to deal with people who complain they weren't consulted
then turn around and complain they were excessively consulted"? At
this point, the appropriate thing would be to put forward a plausible
solution rather than complain they did the thing you claimed they
hadn't sufficiently done.

Chris,

That last paragraph assumes that people (1) know where to look and (2) have
hours to spend watching countless channels for announcements. On the other
hand, there's also a problem of burying people in so many announcements,
surveys, and consultations that people start to tune it all out. This is
part of a larger set of communications and "information overload" problems
that I'm hoping that WMF will address, particularly during its next Annual
Plan.

Well, folks are free to ignore invitations to comment; there are indeed a
lot of discussion notices for various matters, so I don't blame them if
they world rather volunteer their time in other places.

But they cannot then also argue that they didn't know about it. If people
want to know what's going on in our projects, it's their responsibility to
follow places where announcements are posted and read them.

The flood might be exactly how. Keep being inundated with notices, many
people are likely to just start ignoring all of the notices. This is a
problem for a lot of things, though.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Pine W]

Looking at the talk page briefly, I'm seeing few objections to the close
and it appears that no one has reverted it, so it's likely to stick. I
remain skeptical of the process (not to say that it's all bad; Matt
certainly did a lot of outreach on mailing lists), but I wouldn't suggest
using this as a template for good policy development methodology.

Since the plan is to move forward with this, I wish for the best. I'm not a
fan of anarchy and there have been a few incidents in technical spaces in
which I felt there were conduct problems. Hopefully this policy will be a
net benefit.

The RfC has been going on for almost two years already. Given the flood
of announces on a wide range of mailing lists, I don't see how one could
have missed it.

There are a lot of things I dislike with that document but really I
summarize it as:

  {BE NICE}

Else you get banned.


Please don't start a drama.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

Dear Pine,

I see your concern, but it seems exaggerated.

There was an early suggestion of a final RfC on the complete draft. That
changed, as stated and debated last April: there would be a code of
conduct, no two ways about it.  The subject for consensus was only what it
said, topic by topic.  There are pros and cons to that change, but that's a
valid way to do things, especially with such a gradual & public review of
the text.  A year-old process change, even if awkward, is not grounds for
reverting brion's close (!) or forum-shopping the conversation.

The current code is as clean and thorough as any I've seen, a model for
other communities, thanks to discussion in drafting. Even the bits left on
the cutting room floor were well done.  It seems reasonable to try it, see
how it works, revise it.  Hats off to those working on this, and thanks
Quim for continuing to share updates here for us wikizens not subscribed to
the technical lists.

Warmly,
Sam

As a complement to my update yesterday, the call for candidates to form the
first Code of Conduct Committee has been sent to wikitech-l, mediawiki-l,
engineering, labs-l, analytics, wiki-research-l, and design. It will be
advertised in other technical spaces in the next hours. You can read it
i.e. at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-March/087731.html

The next logical update here will be the presentation of a list of
candidates to be reviewed by the Wikimedia technical community and anyone
else willing to chime in. If you want to follow this process closely, you
can check
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct#Bootstrapping_the_Code_of_Conduct_Committee
or subscribe to the Phabricator task linked there.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Pine W]

I am not sure that I agree with that closure. There have been several
concerns mentioned in the talk page and in email threads, and it's not
clear to me that the document should be moving forward without an RfC on
the whole document. If I had time to look into this further I would be
considering reverting Brion's closure as premature in the absence of an RfC
on the whole document. Unfortunately I'm buried in other issues at the
moment and I would need to do a detailed look at the talk page and its
archives before I felt certain about proceeding with a reversion. Someone
who has the time to read the talk page carefully may wish to contest/revert
the close.

I'm not looking for more reasons to have drama about that document, but I'm
very uncomfortable proceeding with that document without an RfC on the
whole document.

Quim, Thank you for the update.

This code of conduct isn't half-bad.   //SJ

[Wikimedia-l] Status of the Code of Conduct for technical spaces

[Quim Gil]

Hi, let me share a status update about the Code of Conduct for Wikimedia
technical spaces, especially targeted to people not familiar with this CoC
and/or Wikimedia technical spaces.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct

The CoC drafting phase was completed yesterday [0], 18 months after a
kick-off session at the Wikimania 2015 Hackathon. Since then, 142 unique
editors have contributed to the Talk page through 147 sections, 21 voting
rounds abut sections of the CoC announced through the main technical
communication channels, and a total of 2,718 edits.[1] That Talk page has
88 watchers, about 20 editors have participated regularly in discussions,
and about half of them heavily.[2] To put these numbers in context,
MediaWiki.org counts 1,420 active editors, and Phabricator 829.

The next step is to create the first Code of Conduct Committee, a process
defined in the CoC itself.[3] A subset of the Technical Collaboration team
at the Wikimedia Foundation [4] (which I am part of) is preparing an
announcement about the search of candidates, inviting everyone to volunteer
themselves or send us recommendations. We are tracking the progress of this
task in Phabricator [5] and we will communicate major updates in the CoC
Talk page and other technical venues as needed.

I hope this clarifies the current situation. If you have questions or
suggestions, please share them here or in the CoC Talk page.
