Re: [Education-collab] [Wikimedia Education] Wikipedia & Education User Group: First meeting!

I agree, it's confusing and not inclusive. Wikimedia activities in education need to be flexible: in many cases Wikipedia is just not a viable option. Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata etc. have proven to be essential educational tools in various cases. Federico

About This Month in Education
by Romaine Wiki 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hi all, I can use some help! Since last year I am helping with the publication of the newsletter *This Month in Education* and I notice that we can use a lot more exposure. Especially in the last few years a lot of user groups have been founded, and in existing affiliations only limitedly stories are shared through the newsletter. While in the core group of wiki education enthusiasts the newsletter is known, we need to tell our story to a wider audience to inspire as many Wikimedians and beyond in the world. I think we need to do especially two things, which I am working on now. First of all, we need to be able to find more easily through navigation on Wikimedia platforms. To start with Meta, I created this page with some basic information so people can more easily find the newsletter on Meta too: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/About Did I miss anything? Things that can be improved? Secondly, we need to make more people in the movement aware of that the newsletter exists AND that they can write for it. I have been thinking about this for some time and came to the conclusion that a flyer to be handed out at Wikimania and the Wikimedia Conference (and perhaps elsewhere too) is a good way to spread awareness. Therefore I am working on a flyer with on one side info about the *This Month in Education* newsletter, and on the other side about the *This Month in GLAM* newsletter, bot community driven newsletters. In the coming couple of days I think I have a first version available and would like to have some feedback on it. Who wants to help by reviewing the flyer and give feedback? Thanks! See you at Wikimania! Romaine

Wikipedia & Education User Group
by Romaine Wiki 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi all, In 2017 there was a collab-meeting organised in what the Wikipedia & Education User Group has been discussed. I sadly could not be there due an already overcrowded agenda over time, but I am (and still am) interested. I am wondering when someone is a founding member. Since then it feels a bit silent regarding the Wikipedia & Education User Group. On top of this page it says: This user group is not yet proposed. Are there any plans to move a step further with the user group? Is there any timeline for the next steps? Greetings, Romaine

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes of 2017!
by Filip Maljkovic 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hey all, I forgot if this list is still on, since we're trying to transition out of the Collab scheme, but let's assume it still works. I just wanted to share this good news: P&E Dashboard is #3 on the wishlist, which means we'll finally get our institutional support for this valuable resource. Let us rejoice! :) Cheers, Filip -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes of 2017! Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 18:29:09 -0800 From: Danny Horn <dhorn(a)wikimedia.org> Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi everyone, The Community Tech team is happy to announce the top 10 wishes from the 2017 Community Wishlist Survey! More than 1,100 people participated in the survey this year -- proposing, discussing and voting on 214 ideas. There was a two-week period in November to submit and discuss proposals, followed by two weeks of support voting. The top 10 proposals with the most support votes now become Community Tech's backlog of projects to evaluate and address. And here's the new top 10: #1. Maps improvements (154 support votes) #2. Ping users from the edit summary (127) #3. Programs and events dashboard (111) #4. Blame tool (110) #5. Infobox wizard (106) #6. Article Alerts for more languages (102) #7. Auto-save edits (96) #7. Thanks notification for log entries (tie, 96) #9. SVG translation (94) #10. Commons deletion notification bot (91) You can see the whole list here, with links to proposals, project pages and Phabricator tickets: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results So what happens next? In 2018, the Community Tech team is responsible for investigating and addressing the top 10 wishes. If there's a wish in the top 10 that we can't work on, because it's unfeasible or because another group is working on it, then we'll explain why we can't. To get updates on our progress: There are project pages for each of the top 10 wishes, which you can put on your watchlist. We'll update them as the project progresses. (At time of writing, these are just skeletons; actual information on each project is still to come.) Feel free to post questions and suggestions on the project talk pages: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Community_Tech_- _Current_projects If you're familiar with the Phabricator ticketing system, the main Phab task for each wish is noted on the Results page. You can also subscribe to those tickets for updates. We also publish several status reports through the year, to keep people updated. You can watch the main Community Tech page for updates: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech There are more questions and answers on the Wishlist Survey FAQ: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/FAQ Thanks to everybody who proposed, discussed, debated and voted on ideas in this year's Wishlist Survey! _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

What does leadership mean in the Wikimedia movement? Presentation on Thursday, Nov 16
by Maria Cruz 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi all! Since July 2016 [1], the Learning and Evaluation team has been invested in understanding what leadership means in our movement, and how we can best support it. On Thursday, November 16 at 9 am PST (1700 UTC), we will host a public meeting to share what we have learned so far, and how we have been working to support community leaders. Follow the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbg2w0RnFk and ask questions via IRC (#wikimedia-office). The first step was the Leadership Development Dialogue, a conversation about what leadership means for our communities, and how the Wikimedia Foundation can best support it. It was hosted by the Learning and Evaluation team, part of the Community Engagement department. The conversation touched on topics like what words best suited this area of work, and also what skills identified a good leader, and how we could best collaborate across the movement to provide support within our existing infrastructures (e.g., Learning Days [2] and the Wikimedia Resource Center [3]) and beyond. What does this mean to your local community and your work? How can you join these efforts? Join us to learn more about what we have learned from community members about leadership in the movement, and where we want to go next. Participation is encouraged via IRC (#wikimedia-office). A recording of the event will be available later on our youtube channel. Hope to see many of you there!
