Hello everyone! In May and June of this year, a team of researchers from the Wikimedia Foundation and Reboot [1] traveled to the South Korea and the Czech Republic to learn more about the experiences new editors have on the Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
We interviewed 47 new editors and 17 experienced editors and (with an intermediate stop on several thousand sticky notes) summarized what we learned in 11 findings. You can learn more about the project and see our full report on our wiki page, mw:New Editor Experiences [2]. Of the 11 findings we identified, some may be surprising to you, while others may reinforce what you already knew. Either way, we'd love to know what you think. We're holding two public discussion sessions next week to talk briefly about our findings and then take questions and comments. We hope you'll come! The two sessions will be at: 1. Wednesday, October 4, 09:30–11:00 PDT (16:30–18:00 UTC) 2. Thursday, October 5, 21:00–22:30 PDT (Friday, October 6, 04:00–05:30 UTC) Full details and instructions on how to join are at mw:New Editor Experiences/October 2017 discussions [3].
