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.

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.
