Forwarding. Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Joe Matazzoni <jmatazzoni(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 4:03 PM Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Editathon and wiki event organizers—what metrics do you need? To: <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Joe Matazzoni <jmatazzoni(a)wikimedia.org> Better and more metrics will be a focus for the Event Tool project. We’re planning these reporting features now and need to hear from organizers of editathons and similar events: What are your ideas about event metrics and reporting? What data do you need to show? What are you looking to accomplish with your reports? What filtering and other features are most important? There’s a post on the project page asking for your input [1] and a series of questions on the talk page designed to help organize the discussion [2]. Please go to the talk page and leave your ideas there. To provide some prompts for your thinking, I’ve also posted a breakdown of the reports available now from the existing tools Grant Metrics and the Program and Events Dashboard [3], which many event organizers have used. We’re listening!

Feedback on Creating Wikimedian in Residence Roles
by Alex Stinson 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi all, *Tldr: *I published a series of recommendations for creating Wikimedian in Residence positions, and would like your feedback at: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence/Creating_a_Wiki… The long version: As part of our continued support of the GLAM-Wiki community, we have been getting an increasing number of requests to the Wikimedia Foundation GLAM team from Wikimedia organizers, affiliates, and partner institutions about “how to create or get Wikimedian in Residence positions”. As you are probably familiar, Wikimedian in Residence positions are very effective at expanding the impact of partnerships with GLAMs and other institutions, and are very successful at expanding the ability for institutions to collaborate with the Wikimedia community. During the last half a year, I interviewed a dozen folks involved in creating Wikimedian in Residence positions at affiliates, as independent organizers in the movement, and at institutions independent of Wikimedia organizers to collect their best thoughts and advice on how to create these roles. Additionally, I drew on documentation created by Wikimedia UK in their evaluation of the WIR program in the UK, the experience of advising communities creating residencies and as part of WMF grants programs, and other documentation from places like the Blog and This Month in GLAM. The result is a recommendation on how to create these roles: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence/Creating_a_Wiki… I would like to start sharing with folks inquiring about these roles. However, before I do, I could use feedback on the page. Please join the discussion at: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedian_in_Residence/Creating_a… Cheers, Alex P.S. This is part of a series of documentation improvements that we have been making over the last couple years. I highly recommend other documentation about the various major tactics used in the GLAM-Wiki community: - The Model projects portal which includes a survey of common project models in GLAM-Wiki https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Model_projects. - The recently updated Commons and Wikidata upload workflows portal created as part of Structured Data on Commons: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Resources/Data_and_media_partnersh… - The personas and research evaluating Commons use for GLAM-Wiki projects: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Supporting_Commons_contribution_by… - *The editathon organizer training that is part of the Programs and Events Dashboard: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/editathons <https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/editathons> * -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM
