I am not sure. We haven't used their tools for our editathons, although
they are probably better than our self-edited stats, since our goal is also
to have fun :-)

Thanks! I was told we are using some tools internally to track specific
edit-a-thon outcomes - is this what you mean? We want to track more than
just edit-a-thon outcomes though

Very cool! Good luck to you. Just a quick response to the first question:
I definitely think it's doable to get 5 editors to stay on for 5 months.
The evaluation team should be able to help you with tools and guides to
measure this.
My advice is to use the person-to-person method. That is, you invite a
few female friends. Some will find it interesting. Make sure that it's a
friendly space they come to. And some will come back. If you're a few
regular people doing this, 5 should be on the low side for the Netherlands.
We have about done it in Sweden without much effort, and with a little
effort we could make it 10 (it's just been a busy time for me and a few
others in the regular group).

Hi Lennart and others,
We had a short meeting yesterday in Utrecht to discuss the Gendergap and
also our plans for the upcoming Art & Feminism weekend of 7 & 8 March.
Wikimedia Netherlands will co-host an edit-a-thon at the Amsterdam
Stedelijk Museum and we also plan to host an international writing
challenge lasting the entire weekend, directed at experienced "challenge
writers". Since WMNL has also set aside some funding for Gendergap this
year, we were also talking about other plans. One thing that we decided to
do is to set aside one "Wiki-Saturday" per month for the Gendergap in all
of its Wiki(p/m)edia aspects, but with the emphasis on the social side of
things as an in-person meetup. We will be announcing the "Saturday meetups"
in the Stedelijk venue.
Based on our meeting, I have done some searching around and have the
following questions:
1) I was wondering if anyone had any measurable outcomes for such an
investment of time and funds? We tentatively had a year-target of
attracting 5 new women editors that remain active for at least 5 months. I
have doubts whether this is measurable or even realistic.
Thoughts anyone?
2) I noticed that though we seem to have lots of women artists on
Wikipedia, we are still missing articles about their artworks or list
articles of their artworks. In a category on the English Wikipedia for
"Lists of works of art" I noted an odd mish-mash of lists which include
lists of works by 66 men and only 4 women (I just created the list for
Judith Leyster and hope to make list articles for two more Dutch women
artists before March). Would anyone here be interested in building a list
of their favorite female artist? This will be a nice-to-have for 7&8 March
writers browsing for something to write about, as most museums have works
by women in the collections, but they are just not on show. If a work is in
one of the national museums it is encyclopedic enough to write about.
Thanks in advance!
Jane

Big smile on my face... I love the idea of regular editathons. I've
never been to a knitting/quilting circle but I imagine a group of women
editing Wikipedia would have a similar look and feel. Piggy-backing on the
WMDC "salons" might be a way forward as facilitating an "editathon"
requires quite a bit of the facilitator, while a regularly scheduled
editing-circle or editing-salon wouldn't require a facilitator at all. I
think that would be easier to sustain and replicate.
