Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikidata-l] Birthday gift: Missing Wikipedia links (was Re: Wikidata turns two!)

2014-11-04 Thread Andrea Zanni
Hi Denny, great tool!

I really like this kind of human computation tools, as they are quick to
grasp and easy to perform.
The Wikidata Game from Magnus is a great example too, IMO.

I wonder: could it be hard to find a way to count how many merging one
accomplishes?
This would work both for an individual and to a list of usernames.

I feel it would be really good in Wikidata presentations or editathons or
outreach events:
you can let many people merge articles, and have a sort of counter
displayed which says how many are done, in real time. It's a sort of a
race/game, and it could be fun especially for young people.

I don't know, it's just an idea, but gamification kinda works :-)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF Finance Fellows to develop first-ever movement-wide financial report and metrics

2014-11-04 Thread Richard Symonds
Thanks for the replies. They've calmed my fears a fair bit, but I'm still a
little concerned - even simple questions like* of your administrative
costs, **how much were your travel costs* don't really make a lot of sense
to us, because some of our travel costs aren't administrative - and we
don't track administrative expenditure because that term isn't a
definition we use, and it's not clearly defined.

This is why we've been having trouble with understanding some
Grantmaking/FDC reports in the past - our method of reporting our financial
information differs from the way that teams at the WMF would like it to be
presented, because our key definitions differ (not to criticise the
grantmaking team, who are very helpful in this regard!)

I think that this project is trying to fix these problems, and it's a
commendable effort - but:

   1. Your team can't create entirely new definitions for organisations to
   report to (because we simply can't afford to increase our finance team to
   report to another definition - we already report to three different
   definitions). There is very little appetite in the movement for bigger or
   more professional finance teams and any big changes to reporting
   requirements simply won't be possible without more resources going that way.
   2. Your team may not be able to get all the information they need from
   participants because participants are simply too busy - in which case, the
   results of the report will go ahead and be used by the movement even though
   it may not be accurate or indeed fit for purpose. If the FDC process then
   goes ahead and uses the report outcomes to ask for financial information,
   then it means that the inaccurate report will have a direct effect on the
   metrics we're marked against, and thus a direct effect on movement funding.
   3. As WMUK, I fear that the less effort we put into involving ourselves
   in the process, the greater the chance that the final outcome will be a
   poor one for us. This in turn means that this actually has to be something
   that WMUK put a fair amount of effort into influencing, to ensure that our
   views are listened to and that the final report is something we can
   actually report against! I worry about how smaller chapters, like Ghana,
   Ukraine or Hungary - or the fledgling user groups - will manage, if the
   final definitions don't reflect their views at all.
   4. You say that if an organisation can't give your team the information
   they want, a phrase will appear in the final report along the lines of
   there are concerns about the quality of the data provided by Wikimedia
   UK... which won't be true, and will be read into by the community as WMUK
   has been audited and found wanting!
   5. The report is intended to make data* consistent, meaningful and
   comparable among the chapters, thematic organizations, and the
Foundation *-
   a laudable goal and one I fully support - but it appears that the
   Foundation aren't being consulted by the Finance Fellows at all. Where will
   their views and date be taken into account - will they be using the same
   process as everyone else, or a different process? I am not a cynic and I
   don't think that the WMF will use this process to dictate what reporting
   requirements should be, but I do worry that unless the WMF go through the
   same process, the end result will be relatively easy for the WMF teams to
   accomplish and rather harder for the rest of us! This increases our
   back-office costs and makes thorgs appear less efficient when that won't
   necessarily be the case.

I trust the team - they are a group of keen, young, idealistic people - and
I know that this is going to be done in good faith, but I don't see how it
can be done fairly without a lot of work from the organisations involved -
if they don't get involved, their views won't be reflected.

In order for this to be successful, his has to be a* team effort*, from all
the financial and project teams (and individuals!) across the world, and at
present it isn't - and given that this is the first the rest of the
movement has heard of the report, it will be very difficult for the rest of
us to help at such short notice.

I really, really appreciate what you're doing - but I want to be part of
this endeavour, and I hope you see my worries!

You're right Sydney - not all of them are going to happen. They're worries
- hypothetical worries in some cases - but they impact directly on the work
I do and it would be wrong of me to not raise them.

In answer to your other points:

   - You are right that the alternative of not doing anything or putting it
   off seems worse. It *is* worse to not do anything. Indeed, this is
   something I've wanted to do for years (I simply haven't had the time) and I
   am 100% behind it happening. It is sensible and I will do everything I can
   to support it.
   - However, when you say a group of people taking a run at sorting this
   out seems like a good first approach - it is a good first approach, but I
   worry that the first approach will become the only approach, and that the
   results will be used even if they're too rough to use. This is a huge
   task and it needs to be right or it runs the risk of damaging the movement.
   - I don't think this should be done by a formal group of representatives
   - in my experience committees aren't an amazing way of doing things like
   this. The team who have been put together seem to be bright young things
   and I have no doubt that they will do the best job they can - but I think
   that the first version can be improved with a lot more buy-in from the rest
   of the movement :-)

This.

The concept behind the 'finance fellows' is a great one: dedicated contact
people for the Chapters to help coordinate, standardise, streamline,
clarify the financial information among a variety of very diverse Wikimedia
Organisations.
Something like this is something that many people have wanted for a long
time. Newer or smaller chapters can feel 'left out' and overwhelmed by what
kind of information they need to report, when, how... especially for the
majority of Chapters that have no dedicated financial administration
professional.

However, by keeping the team's formation a secret, and not involving the
Chapters' financial staff in the conceptualisation stage (even as advanced
warning), does not start the concept off with good will. In fact, what
could/should have been a great day for the movement in helping to support
and coordinate its various parts, makes the very people who are going to be
working closest with the Finance Fellows (e.g. Richard, above) skeptical
and wary of being 'audited'. This is a great shame.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF Finance Fellows to develop first-ever movement-wide financial report and metrics

2014-11-04 Thread Pine W
Hi all,

As you may have heard, I've started temporary contract work for WMF as an
intern in Learning and Evaluation. [1] My work will focus on the Learning
Patterns Library. [2] One of the goals for the internship is to enable
easier and better reporting about grants, including financial reports. When
grantees spend countless hours writing reports, that drains resources that
could be invested in designing and producing more and better programs, and
I've heard that grantees prefer designing and producing programs over
tedious accounting and reporting tasks. You can expect to hear more from me
about learning patterns in the next few months, and I am hoping to hear
constructive ideas from community members and grantees that can be included
in the Learning Patterns Library.

Generally I will use my current Pine accounts for my community roles, and I
will save my WMF accounts for official WMF work.

I didn't know about these Finance Fellows either until I saw their profiles
appear on the WMF staff page, and I emailed Garfield to ask about them. A
community consultation in advance about this project would have been
helpful. The goals of these Fellows make sense to me; I've previously had
discussions with Grantmaking about trying to get comparable data across
programs. I too am interested in hearing how WMF Finance will implement
this program, and in particular how it will affect the Cascadia Wikimedians
User Group which I am helping to coordinate. It does worry me a little that
Wikimedia has a famously complicated social, financial, and legal
environment, and there are lots of ways for things to go wrong, especially
when people who have never before worked in this kind of environment are
brought into a role like global finance for the movement. That said, I hope
that Garfield will continue to address the concerns that are being
discussed in this thread, and that the work of the Finance Fellows will be
a net positive for everyone in the long run.

To the Finance Fellows: I hope that you are not discouraged by this
discussion. I've been in this global community for years in a variety of
roles, and I'm still learning. I hope that you have a good experience with
us.

Regards,

Pine

While completely understanding the point you're making, I would mainly
suggest not worrying about this. Many things going on in among Wikimedia
movement organisations are imperfect steps in the right direction and it's
more important to focus on the step in the right direction bit.

In many ways it's all so new and diverse that we currently are one level of
abstraction beyond sharing learning and information. We are still in the
process of learning how to share learning and of gathering information
about what information there is.

I suspect the Finance Fellows may make a very valuable contribution even if
their results are a bit less concrete than they anticipate. Hopefully the
dialogue here will be helpful in shaping their approach.

An important point.  This happens regularly despite the best
intentions of all involved.  (And not only at the organizational level
-- e.g., we all still rely on 'edit count' for so many things, despite
persistent vocal attention to its weaknesses and subvertability as a
metric since the start.)
