by Jonathan Morgan 30 Sep '13

Hi Christian, The transcript is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours/Office_hours_2013-09-23 I've set a calendar reminder for myself to organize another office hour next month, probably somewhere around the 20th-25th. We'll coordinate through the analytics list and try to push out the announcement through as many other channels as possible.

No more comments on PopSci.com – because science says they're hurting people
by Maryana Pinchuk 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Popular Science is turning off its online comments section: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-09/why-were-shutting-our-comment… . Why? Turns out, incivility ruins people's ability to think clearly and rationally: "Uncivil comments not only polarized readers, but they often changed a participant's interpretation of the news story itself. In the civil group, those who initially did or did not support the technology — whom we identified with preliminary survey questions — continued to feel the same way after reading the comments. Those exposed to rude comments, however, ended up with a much more polarized understanding of the risks connected with the technology. Simply including an ad hominem attack in a reader comment was enough to make study participants think the downside of the reported technology was greater than they'd previously thought." Food for thought... (h/t to Jared Zimmerman) -- Maryana Pinchuk Product Manager, Wikimedia Foundation wikimediafoundation.org

New "make your first edit" guided tour for VE
by Steven Walling 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

As promised,[1] today we deployed a guided tour that shows new users how to make their first edit using VisualEditor. This tour is a complement to the similar one we created, which shows users how to use the basic functions of the wikitext editor. Append ?tour=firsteditve to any article URL (where guided tours are available) to see it in action, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornate_Cowfish?tour=firsteditve or https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphaenogaster_fallax?tour=firsteditve There are some bugs to iron out (like https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54352) and translations are partially complete at best, but this is one more step toward finalizing the GettingStarted onboarding experience for newly-registered editors, and rolling out across language editions of Wikipedia. For reference, this is one of the tours we will be delivering to basically all new editors in our next A/B test of GettingStarted.[2] -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/ 1. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2013-September/000659.html 2. mediawiki.org/wiki/Onboarding_new_Wikipedians#Proposed

Thanks, Bartosz, Good point. I have raised the priority of this bug and we will include these recommendations into a page of next steps for Notifications which I am preparing this week. We really appreciate all your help with this project!

I have seen a reference to Flow handling newsletters. We don't need Ed's permission to distribute the Signpost but I agree that an opt-out option should be included in the notification in a way that's easy for the user to select so that the Signpost's talk pages aren't flooded with opt-out requests. Steven, that's a great idea for wider visibility. Can you talk to the right people to implement this notification, along with an opt-out feature, forward compatibility with Flow, and the capacity to add other newsletters such as Kurier or This Month in GLAM on any wiki that uses Echo?

Account creation suggestion
by ENWP Pine 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

As a part of the AC process on ENWP can we automatically sign up users for Signpost talkpage deliveries, or at least strongly encourage them to sign up for delivery, and offer them a choice of our many interest specific newsletters? I think this could help to further engage new editors with the broader Wikipedia community and its diverse activities and interests. Pine
