>>
>> Q: Why are you doing this?

>>
>> Q: Am I eligible?
>> A: Read the fine program documentation.
>>
>> Q: If I'm eligible, am I guaranteed a donated laptop?
>> A: no.
>>
>> Q: Once these 20 laptops are donated, will there be others?
>> A: yes, eventually.
>>
>> Q: How can you ensure people would use the machines for Wikimedia
>> purposes?
>> A: We can't.  We'll be making a good-effort assessment of the likelihood

Esteemed Wikipedians, I need your assistance. I am looking for any
papers/reports etc, on how Wikimetrics are being/have been used to inform
direction/policies on Wikimedia projects (at the Foundation, in Chapters,
Usergroups, etc). Is anyone able to point me towards these?

Thanks!

Heya Muti …

You should speak first to Jaime Anstee - she is the Wikimetric’s guru and might be able to help you. You could also reach out to the Research and Data team at the WMF: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Research_and_Data <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Research_and_Data> and the Research group on Meta (a group of academics and researchers who dig deep into all facets of the community) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Index <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Index>

Let us know if you need any specific help. I have linked you in this email to Jaime (Metrics) and Leila (Research) at the WMF and hope they can also point you in the right direction.

warmest
Isla
