Wikipedia 2030 Product Planning
by Adjoa Linda Fletcher 13 Sep '19

Dear Audience Research, I attended the 2019 Wikimania Conference in Stockholm, Sweden. I picked up copies of the blue Audience booklets; Experience, Culture, Trust, Tools, Scale, and Augmentation. I have been studying the information in the booklets. They are so well written and informative. I want to get copies for community events if possible, where I will be sharing my experience being a Wikipedia editor. I have been editing Wikipedia for four years, and attended three Wikimania Conferences, and two North American Wikimedia conferences. I found links to some of the Audience Wikipedia 203O Product Planning booklets. Is there a list online where I can find links to all the booklets? Can I get booklets mailed to me? Some people are not able to print the books. Sincerely, Linda Fletcher

Re: [Audience Research] [Research-Internal] the scientific paper is obsolete
by Jonathan Morgan 12 Apr '18

This is great! I love Jupyter notebooks and use them all the time. From what I've seen around academic publishing and open research circles (and esp. at their intersections) longform written reports aren't going away. It looks like some of the more forward-thinking venues are starting to support a "both/and" model. Which is wonderful IMO. More research artifacts means better verifiability and also more opportunities for people to understand your data, findings, methods, theories, etc. in the way that works best for them. - J On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 10:25 AM, Margeigh Novotny <mnovotny(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > This is super interesting.

Thinking about user archetypes
by Melody Kramer 21 Jan '17

21 Jan '17

Hello all, and welcome to our new listserv members! I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with you! I read a post <https://hello.ted.com/2013/10/08/whats-your-ted-habit/> this morning from the TED Blog: they developed user archetypes for 12 different kinds of people and how they use TED. I really like this: it's from the content consumer's perspective, and based on how motivations and needs might inform the way people interact with or find the videos on the TED site. There are likely takeaways for people who think about search + discovery mechanisms, as well as people who think about content consumption. Some housekeeping: There will be an update on the Wikimedia Foundation audience research work next week; we've completed 3/6 audience prioritization workshops and are thinking about how to narrow down our focus. I would love to hear your thoughts on this: When you're thinking about a *lot* of different audiences, how do you think about prioritization?

Update on the audience research project!
by Melody Kramer 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hello! I wanted to give you a short update on the audience research work and let you know what's coming down the pipeline over the next few weeks. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, hypotheticals, or just want to bounce some ideas/questions/what-nots, please reach out directly or respond to the listserv. (And please let colleagues inside and outside of the Foundation about this list so that they can sign up!) Sign up information is here. <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/audience-research> *Audience Frameworks: *We finished up our initial collaboration with the research design firm Reboot, and published two framework diagrams: the first is an ecosystem map <http:> showing relationships and actions associated with various movement roles; the second shows audience groups <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Draft_Audience-Stakeholder_Framewor…> in terms of their actions and size. You can see the metrics meeting deck about this work here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11Q-4lRJpYgtKT0UOHzBtkob4Kn992zL1Id6…> (slide 15 --> and watch a recent presentation about it here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5R5PgBk5b8>. *These presentations will be up on-wiki shortly, if they're not already.* Collectively we identified over 400 audience groups we serve or could be serving in our work! *Caveat:* *The diagrams do not show all 400 groups.* It is also likely that a group can fit into more than one place, or that a person can be in more than one audience group. We view these as a framework or guide that we may be able to use to think about any audience, even if it's not explicitly mentioned. *On-wiki: *All of the work about our process to date is on-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Communications/Audience_…>. Feel free to share it or use it or adapt it or use it for anything you're working on. *Prioritization Process: *We are now prioritizing the identified audiences for further research, analysis, and experimentation/interventions. We're working on a pilot project with the audience leads from the Product team to develop a criteria we can use against their identified high-priority audiences as well as the goals they have for their teams. This process will be outlined on-wiki shortly, and is designed to be replicated. If you'd like a preview, here is a slide deck that imagines the different ways we could think about text editors <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vms_QH-ekUbOHRmguktFlQPckKrkX4ZwKe9…>, all of the ways we might be able to segment that audience to learn more about them, what questions we may have about them, how we could learn more about them, and what we might be able to learn through internal or external data. This will be on wiki shortly. *What's next: *Once we identify the prioritized list of audiences with the product team, we will then determine the best ways to learn more about these groups, and then validate and test those assumptions. This might be a combination of research, generative research, and ideas about product, partnership, programmatic, and communications projects — or a smattering of some of the above. *Other work to keep your eyeballs on: *The New York Times released a 2020 strategy report today, which outlines where the paper sees itself growing over the next 5-10 years: http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2020-report/ I see many of the bullet points they've written about the design/content as potentially transferrable to our use cases. I also think this report is really smart from a strategic perspective — and I like that they consider how their structure may need to change to accommodate changes in the ways people read and consume material. It feels like we're thinking about similar questions and spaces. - Mel -- Melody Kramer Read a random featured article from Wikipedia! <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomInCategory/Featured_articles> mkramer(a)wikimedia.org
