---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Leila Zia <le...@wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 10:32 AM Subject: [Wiki-research-l] [Announcement] Voice and exit in a voluntary work environment To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities < wiki-researc...@lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Robert West <robert.w...@epfl.ch>, Paul Seabright < paul.seabri...@tse-fr.eu>, Jérôme HERGUEUX <jerome.hergu...@gess.ethz.ch> Hi all, With the start of the new fiscal year in Wikimedia Foundation on July 1, the Research team has officially started the work on Program 12: Growing contributor diversity. [1] Here are a few announcements/pointers about this program and the research and work that will be going to it: * We aim to keep the research documentation for this project on the corresponding research page on meta. [2] * Research tasks are hard to break down and track in task-tracking systems. This being said, any task that we can break down and track will be documented under the corresponding Epic task on Phabricator. [3] * The goals for this Program for July-September 2017 (Quarter 1) are captured on MediaWiki. [4] (The Phabricator epic will be updated with corresponding tasks as we start working on them.) * Our three formal collaborators (cc-ed) will contribute to this program: Jérôme Hergueux from ETH, Paul Seabright from TSE, and Bob West from EPFL. We are thankful to these people who have agreed to spend their time and expertise on this project in the coming year, and to those of you who have already worked with us as we were shaping the proposal for this project and are planning to continue your contributions to this program. :) * I act as the point of contact for this research in Wikimedia Foundation. Please feel free to reach out to me (directly, if it cannot be shared publicly) if you have comments/questions about the project in the coming year.
