Statistics for usage of QRpedia codes
by vassia atanassova 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hello, all! :) I am Vassia / User:Spiritia from the Bulgarian Wikipedia, and some of you have probably heard of our WMF-funded project with Sofia Zoo <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Sofia_Zoo_and_Bulgarian_Wikipedi…> to place QRcodes and contents from Wikimedia on the information boards of all exhibited animals. After Wikimania-London, where I met Roger Bamkin and we spoke about QRpedia and the possibilities for statistics of its usage, I tried to contact him recently, but got no response. (Roger, hope you're well!) Anyway, I guess someone else may also be of help. My colleagues from the Sofia Zoo are very interested to have some (or any!) statistics about the performance of our zoo-located QR codes. There is a particular occasion for this request. There will be a European zoo conference in March 2015, and they would like to report their experience with Wikimedia, but back it up with some hard data. The articles covered with QRpedia codes along this project are listed here: http://bit.ly/1r3eKwl Please, anyone who is able and willing to help, contact me and tell me what other information may be needed to complete the research (or instruct us how to do it by ourselves?) Thank you very much in advance! Vassia / Spiritia

Hi all, A few months ago, the Learning and Evaluation team started a new communication outlet to reach out to the Wikimedia community: Learning Quarterly, a newsletter that has recently launched its second issue. Find it on Meta at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Newsletter/2014/1/2 Through this means we seek to share the learning about programs and practices taking place in the movement, including information around new learning resources, blog posts written by the team, learning patterns, and recent initiatives in IdeaLab that need community support. Learning is a key aspect of community and program development[1], and we strive to socialize this knowledge to the community at large. Help us by spreading the word! [2] If you want to find out what were the hot topics from the past quarter, read further on metrics, or learn what other community members are doing in different parts of the world, subscribe to the Global Message delivery list [3] and have it sent to your wiki of preference. You can also read the latest issue on the Evaluation portal on Meta [4] or subscribe to our bi-weekly announcements *[5]*. If you are coordinating a Wikimedia program or project, and would like to be featured in the newsletter, please leave a comment on the Second issue Discussion page or email eval(a)wikimedia.org Cheers! *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> [1] More on Participatory Grantmaking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_grantmaking [2] Use our Twitter handle @WikiEval https://twitter.com/WikiEval [3] Subscribe to the newsletter: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Learning_Qu… [4] Learning Quarterly on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Newsletter [5] Announcement list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-ped

Some IEG grant proposals with GLAM elements
by Patrick Earley 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello GLAM friends! For our second round of Individual Engagement Grant applications in 2014, we have a great crop of ideas. Wikimedians have dropped by to offer feedback, support, or expertise to some of the proposals, but some proposals have not been adequately reviewed by community members. Several of these proposals involve partnerships with cultural institutions, including digitization projects, outreach, creation and curation of learning materials, and more. Community members with GLAM-outreach experience are uniquely suited to comment on these ideas. If there is an open proposal that interests you, that you have concerns about, or that involves an area where you have experience or expertise, please drop by the proposal page to share your views. This will help the proposers better hone their strategies, and will assist the IEG Committee in evaluating some of these fresh new ideas to improve the Wikimedia projects. Working with an IEG proposal may even inspire you to serve as a project advisor, or to propose one of your own for the next cycle! Comments are requested until October 20th. GLAM-related proposals: - IEG/Digitization of Important Libraries Book Catalog in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Digitization_of_Important_Librar…> - IEG/Expo 2015: Contributing to Wikipedia at Expo 2015 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Expo_2015:_Contributing_to_Wikip…> - IEG/Localizing Offline Wikipedia and Deployment in Nigerian High Schools <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Localizing_Offline_Wikipedia_and…> - IEG/Fundación Joaquín Díaz <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Fundaci%C3%B3n_Joaqu%C3%ADn_D%C3…> - IEG/Art+Feminism Editathon training materials and network building <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Art%2BFeminism_Editathon_trainin…> - IEG/Digitisation drive for Malayalam Wikisource <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Digitisation_drive_for_Malayalam…> Full list: - IEG Grants/Review https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-reviewing Regards, -- Patrick Earley Community Advocate Wikimedia Foundation pearley(a)wikimedia.org
