There is also another grant of interest from the Inspire campain to the
Education program in general:
On my volunteer time, I have been talking to Daniel (the grant nominator)
about how to execute a program like this: and he seems to have created
quite a coalition of interest at UNL. What's important about the coalition:
he is going to be involving a number of people active in the Digital
Humanities: a field that has overlapping interests and skills that would be
useful for the Wikipedia Education program, but in which we are only
starting to see Wikipedia approached as a tool of interest. I would
recommend supporting the grant: because it provides us a model of
involvement for Universities that isn't just bound by individual classrooms.

Wiki Controversy Monitoring Engine
Call for Developers
Purpose: The controversy monitoring engine maintains a real-time rating
of
the controversiality of Wikipedia articles by
listening to the live
stream
of edits from Wikipedia. We need someone who is
interested in building
the
web interface and interactive visualizations
around these controversies
to
enable administrators to monitor, investigate,
and, if need be,
intervene to
deescalate controversies. The goal is to create
a site like
stats.wikimedia.org editors and admins can use to identify and
deescalate
controversies.
Requirements: Knowledge of web development, web-based visualization,
and\or
data analysis using Wikipedia's API or
WikiData.
For More Information: see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Controversy_Monitoring_Engine
Consciousness-Raising Repository
Call for Working Group Participants
Purpose: We're putting together a group of diverse Wikipedians to help
put
together a repository of stories from users
experiencing marginalization
on
Wikipedia. Whether first timers or old timers,
we're looking to recruit
users interested in engaging the community around marginalization. The
purpose of the repository is to serve as a database of knowledge about
the
forms marginalization can take and as an outlet
for users experiencing
marginalization.
Requirements: Interest in working with marginalization and marginalized
groups. Interest in the Wiki-community. Willing to attend an hour-long
biweekly meeting.
