Are these sessions available for viewing afterwards on YouTube? A live stream isn't
much use for my time zone Australian Eastern Standard, UTC +10.
I watch the WMF Metrics meetings using the YouTube link so hoping something similar can be
available.
Thanks

This month:
UX research at WMF
Introducing Abbey Ripstra, the new UX research lead at the Wikimedia Foundation.
A bird's eye view of editor activation
by Dario Taraborelli -- In this talk I will give a high-level overview of data on new
editor activation, presenting longitudinal data from the largest Wikipedias, a comparison
between desktop and mobile registrations and the relative activation rates of different
cohorts of newbies.
Collaboration patterns in Articles for Creation
by Aaron Halfaker -- Wikipedia needs to attract and retain newcomers while also
increasing the quality of its content. Yet new Wikipedia users are disproportionately
affected by the quality assurance mechanisms designed to thwart spammers and promoters.
English Wikipedia’s en:WP:Articles for Creation provides a protected space for newcomers
to draft articles, which are reviewed against minimum quality guidelines before they are
published. In this presentation, describe and a study of how this drafting process has
affected the productivity of newcomers in Wikipedia. Using a mixed qualitative and
quantitative approach, I'll show the process's pre-publication review, which is
intended to improve the success of newcomers, in fact decreases newcomer productivity in
English Wikipedia and offer recommendations for system designers.
