Hi everyone, On July 11th at the next WMF Metrics & Activities meeting, myself, Erik Möller, Howie Fung, Maryana Pinchuk, and Dario Taraborelli are going to deliver a short update on the state of Wikimedia editor communities. (For those not familiar: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_and_activities_meetings)
This is the beginning of the new fiscal year for the WMF, and we'd like to use this time to recap what we know about the decline or growth of Wikimedia communities. We're focusing on the following set of questions... * Are Wikimedia projects as a whole in decline? * Is English Wikipedia in decline? * Which WMF projects have been successful in driving growth? * Which non-WMF trends have driven growth (e.g. community projects)? * How does data/measurement enable us to drive growth? * Which future changes are expected to drive growth? I'm reaching out to this list on behalf of the team, so that we can get a list of the non-WMF projects that have had a measurable impact on the size or diversity of Wikimedia projects. One obvious example that comes to mind is Wiki Loves Monuments. Others are the Wikipedia Challenge in Kiswahili and Setswana, and edit-a-thons, such as this year's fashion edit-a-thon put together by Wikimedia Sverige. What am I missing from this list? -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
