Hi all,
I hope this email finds you well.
I'm reaching out to let you know that the Research team [1] at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working on developing a taxonomy of knowledge gaps for the Wikimedia projects. We now have the first draft of the taxonomy ready and we're seeking your input to improve it.
==Material== * A summary of the taxonomy and motivation: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Knowledge_Gaps_Taxonomy_Summary-...
* Full paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.12314
* A video presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP3uXA9bfvU or https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_Gaps_Taxonomy.mp4.webm (same video on two platforms)
==Feedback== Please provide your feedback by answering the 6 questions posted at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Knowledge_Gaps_Index/Taxonomy#... .
We're collecting feedback until 2020-09-30.
==Talk with us== If you have questions about the taxonomy and you'd like to talk with us in a synchronous set-up, we invite you to join us in the upcoming Research Showcase https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#September_2020 . We will have a very short presentation about it and will leave 15-20 min for any questions you may have. If you all need more time to talk about it in sync, we're happy to open time for that as well. Let us know.
==What happens next?== We have explained it at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Knowledge_Gaps_Index/Taxonomy#What_... . At a high level, we will iterate on the taxonomy based on the feedback and will start researching on how to measure the different gap types identified in the taxonomy.
Thank you! Isaac, Martin, Miriam, and Leila
