*Metrics standardization *(Dario)
In this talk I'll present the most recent updates on our work
on participation metrics and discuss the goals of the Editor Engagement
Vital Signs project.
*Wikipedia's rise and decline *(Aaron)
In Halfaker et al. (2013) we present data that show that several changes
the Wikipedia community made to manage quality and consistency in the face
of a massive growth in participation have ironically crippled the very
growth they were designed to manage. Specifically, the restrictiveness of
the encyclopedia's primary quality control mechanism and the algorithmic
tools used to reject contributions are implicated as key causes of
decreased newcomer retention.
