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:

* Full paper:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.12314
* A video presentation:

(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
