Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

Hi Gerard,

Yes, diversity is a lens you can apply to every area (content, people,
governance, etc.). I don't think it is more used for people than for
content (actually, I do research cultural diversity in content).

The question you posed on how the lack of diversity in content affects the
needs of the readers is an interesting one. It is quite in line with the
Strategic recommendation Prioritize Topics for Impact, which proposes to
study which topics have a more positive impact on society.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

2020-01-23 Thread Gerard Meijssen
Hoi,
The issue then is that diversity is seen as an issue with our collaborators
and not so much as an issue of the needs of our audience.

Having said that, has there every been done a study on how and where the
lack of our diversity in our content exists and how it affects our audience?
Thanks,
   GerardM

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

2020-01-23 Thread Marc Miquel
Hi Gerard,

I agree it is a good practice to try to find a definition. In my
understanding, diversity is the range of differences in a series of things,
people, cultural traits, etc. So, diversity applied to Wikimedia, it can be
understood as to how well the different profiles in society are engaged in
contributing to our projects, how the different governance structures allow
different profiles to access positions in decision-making, how the
communities capture all the different available knowledge in certain
geographical contexts, etc.

Thanks for asking.
Best,
Marc

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

2020-01-23 Thread Astrid Carlsen
Hi all,
Thanks for the comments and questions.
The community survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdEaXc2AIaaFgKiQUWCDdnJKLd26KA8_DDQsyAqemXsH-wRyw/viewform>
is about defining the scope of a possible Wikimedia Diversity Conference
2020.

I think the scope of the 2017 Diversity conference is shared on this page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Diversity_Conference_2017

I hope this helps!

Best,
Astrid Carlsen, Wikimedia Norge

Hi Nick, 
That is quite a lot to read to try to find where the scope is mentioned, could 
you be a bit more specific? I do not want to read all about three events in the 
hope of finding where the scope is defined. It was not obvious in the places 
that I looked.
Cheers,
Peter

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey: Wikimedia Diversity Conference 2020

2020-01-21 Thread Gerard Meijssen
Hoi,
Ah yes, I can read.

In my mind when conferences are held on a particular subject and it is not
clear what the subject is, "how can there be a solution or progress. It
will be whatever people think it is and results will not be results, they
are what happens anyway. Not knowing what your subject is is not SMART.

So, again what is meant by diversity"?
