Fwd: EventStreams launch and RCStream deprecation
by Andrew Otto 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi everyone! Wikimedia is releasing a new service: EventStreams <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams>[1]. This service allows us to publish arbitrary streams of JSON event data to the public. (Psssst: we’re looking for cool new uses <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventStreams/Blog_-_Call_For_Entries>[2] to put on an upcoming blog post.) Initially, the only stream available will be good ol’ RecentChanges <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RCFeed>. This event stream overlaps functionality already provided by irc.wikimedia.org and RCStream <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream>. However, this new service has advantages over these (now deprecated) services. 1. We can expose more than just RecentChanges. 2. Events are delivered over streaming HTTP (chunked transfer) instead of IRC or socket.io. This requires less client side code and fewer special routing cases on the server side. 3. Streams can be resumed from the past. By using EventSource, a disconnected client will automatically resume the stream from where it left off, as long as it resumes within one week. In the future, we would like to allow users to specify historical timestamps from which they would like to begin consuming, if this proves safe and tractable. I did say deprecated! Okay okay, we may never be able to fully deprecate irc.wikimedia.org. It’s used by too many (probably sentient by now) bots out there. We do plan to obsolete RCStream, and to turn it off in a reasonable amount of time. The deadline iiiiiis July 7th, 2017. All services that rely on RCStream should migrate to the HTTP based EventStreams service by this date. We are committed to assisting you in this transition, so let us know how we can help. Unfortunately, unlike RCStream, EventStreams does not have server side event filtering (e.g. by wiki) quite yet. How and if this should be done is still under discussion <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152731>. The RecentChanges data you are used to remains the same, and is available at https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/stream/recentchange. However, we may have something different for you, if you find it useful. We have been internally producing new Mediawiki specific events <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-event-schemas/tree/master/jsonschema…> [3] for a while now, and could expose these via EventStreams as well. Take a look at these events, and tell us what you think. Would you find them useful? How would you like to subscribe to them? Individually as separate streams, or would you like to be able to compose multiple event types into a single stream via an API? These things are all possible. I asked for a lot of feedback in the above paragraphs. Let’s try and centralize this discussion over on the mediawiki.org EventStreams talk page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:EventStreams>[4]. In summary, the questions are: - What RCStream clients do you maintain, and how can we help you migrate to EventStreams? <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tkjkee2j684hkwc9> - Is server side filtering, by wiki or arbitrary event field, useful to you? <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tkjkabtyakpm967t> - Would you like to consume streams other than RecentChanges? <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tkjk4ezxb4u01a61> (Currently available events are described the event-schemas repository <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-event-schemas/tree/master/jsonschema…> .) Thanks! - Andrew Otto [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventStreams/Blog_-_Call_For_Entries [3] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-event-schemas/tree/master/jsonschema… [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:EventStreams

Retention of Wikimedians for the long term
by Pine W 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi Research-l, A human resources problem that I am experiencing is a shortage of human resources of community members who are willing, available, and have the skills to work on a variety of useful initiatives. Is anyone on this list aware of research that talks about motivations of long-term contributors? In particular, I'd be interested in research that suggests ways to convert productive, relatively new editors (say, 50-500 edits) into long-term community members who are likely to develop into long-term, productive Wikimedians. Thanks, Pine

Ofer Arazy, Felipe Ortega, and Oded Nov have looked at career paths among Wikipedians <http://oferarazy.com/PDF/ArazyOrtegaNovYeoBalila%20CSCW2015.pdf>. Also, Judd Antin, Coye Cheshire, and Nov have looked at how new Wikipedians select into specific roles <https://ai2-s2-pdfs.s3.amazonaws.com/764c/7a3dbe3f141096f5e7acebdb62261bf4b…> as editors. I'm not aware of any work that speaks specifically to the "conversion process" (from 50/500 edits ---> career Wikipedian) that you're talking about, though.

Post doc opening to study stigmergic coordination, Syracuse University School of Information Studies
by Kevin G Crowston 18 Feb '17

18 Feb '17

Applications are invited for a postdoc position at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies. The successful applicant will join an NSF-supported study of stigmergic coordination, that is, coordination that is supported through a shared work product instead of or in addition to through explicit communications. The postdoc will carry out field research with open source software developers and others to understand the mechanisms underlying stigmergy in those settings, and contribute to the design and evaluation of a system to support stigmergic coordination in another setting. Responsibilities may also include working with and supervising undergraduate, masters and doctoral students. Applicants should have or expect shortly to receive a PhD in computer-supported cooperative work, information science, information systems or a related field. The ideal candidate will have experience with multi-method research, specifically including qualitative field research (e.g., interviews, observation, qualitative data analysis) and field experiments (e.g., evaluation of collaborative systems). Candidates should be knowledgable about computer-supported cooperative work in general and preferably about free/libre open source software development practices in particular. Programming ability is desirable but not necessary. An ideal candidate will have experience carrying out both independent and collaborative research, and of writing up research work for publication. The position requires good communication skills, including excellent spoken and written English. In addition to work on the project, the success applicant be able to develop research objectives, projects and proposals for his or her own and joint research, with the assistance of a mentor if required. The initial position is for one year with the possibility of extension for a second year. The position is available from summer 2017. Potential applicants are invited to contact Kevin Crowston (crowston(a)syr.edu) to discuss the position. Formal applications should be submitted online at: http://www.sujobopps.com/postings/68890 Review of applicants will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
