Greetings, everyone!

 

The WMF Inuka team [1] is exploring having the Wikistories tool [2] on Commons, so we want to get your feedback.


Our proposal

The Inuka team believes the Wikistories tool would significantly increase our projects' visual form of knowledge if we introduce a Wikistories workflow in WikiCommons. The above is because the Commons is a repository of freely licensed media files that is discoverable across other projects and languages. We have outlined our goals for this initiative on the project page [3], and we are optimistic about a good outcome. However, the Wikistories on Commons initiative is still a proposal that will require the WikiCommons community's feedback/ input on our design explorations before we commit to the work.


Our request 

In the next three weeks, the Inuka team would want you as a member of the Commons community to:

We have provided three spots for office hours.

Please click on the date that works for you and register to attend the office hour. If you can't attend, that is fine. However, we will appreciate your feedback about the design exploration [8] and the Wikistories on Commons proposal on the talk page.

 

We, the Inuka team, are excited about this work's possibilities, and we look forward to having you all onboard at every phase. 


Thank you!
