Hey Sam,
Great timing on the questions about tools!
I recently published a framework for organizing campaigns that describes
the existing tools used for different stages in Campaigns:
. [1] If you
or your volunteers helping with metrics want to talk through the various
metrics options and what you would like to measure, I would be happy to
workshop those ideas with you. We are still piloting the framework -- so
testing those parts with you would be great -- I would love to learn where
you have other questions.
Cheers,
Alex

Greetings!
Apologies for cross-posting. After a successful first iteration of the
“Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will
be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition
of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8
languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons,
which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the
contest to over 1,000. About 9 in-person events were also organised for the
edit-a-thon in different parts of the world.
The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called "The AfroCine
Project",[1] which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history,
works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema,
theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the
diaspora.
If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username
as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page.[2] If you would
love to lead this contest for your country or community, please list your
name in the coordinators page here.[3] The rapid grants team would be
accepting proposals throughout October and November, in case you'd need
funds to run local edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this
event. Upon listing your name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted
to talk about the resources you'd need to run the event in your community.
You can also contact me directly for any clarifications.
Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine
project. These aspects include:
1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with
local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.
2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the
project. Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media
would be the responsibility of this person.
3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African
Cinema contest. We need as many people as we can get :).
4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the
metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling
for Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be
useful for the project.
If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles
that have not been mentioned, please contact me directly.
If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach
out to me personally or right here on the mailing list or the project
talkpages.
Thank you!
Sam Oyeyele.
