Hi everyone,
I just joint the list for editor engagement and I wish I can contribute
from time to time with comments. I am a phD student from Barcelona doing
research on User Engagement in Wikipedia. I've been studying different
aspects from the encyclopedia for the past few years, cross-cultural
analyis and community surveys, and also I've been involved in the Catalan
community mainly (see my english Wikipedia
profile<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marcmiquel>
).
I met Pau Giner and Amir Aharon and I am collaborating with them in the
Universal Language Selector, providing extra usability testing with Eye
Tracking technique. Currently, I am analyzing the results and preparing new
studies.
I posted a project for the IEG Grants in WMF called "Studying content
interest and editor engagement factors with new
editors<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_inte…s>".
I plan to understand how successful engagement occurs with new editors by
means of an initial survey, qualitative work and few metrics to follow
their progress. I would appreciate any comment or "endorsement" at its page
here<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_interes…
.
Thanks!!
Best,
Marc Miquel
