Re: [Gendergap] OFFLIST Re: Incentive programs and wikicups: Effectiveness?

Hey Laura, I've been meaning to ask you this -- have you talked to Siska Doviana in Indonesia? She's run a couple university contests, and reported on them. I'm not sure if there's been formal research, but she is full of information. I could introduce you if you haven't met her. -Pete On Sep 23, 2011, at 2:30 AM, Laura Hale wrote: Has anyone done any research or know of any research that has looked into the effectiveness of incentive programs like British Museum at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/Featured_Article_prize ?  Or into the effectiveness of wikicups like Bacon at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bacon/Bacon_WikiCup/2012 ?  Do they spur collaboration?  Do they engage new audiences that may not otherwise have worked on content or similar content? -- twitter: purplepopple blog: ozziesport.com _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap Pete Forsyth peteforsyth(a)gmail.com 503-383-9454 mobile _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
