Greetings, Everyone!
The WMF Inuka team [1] would like to thank everyone who attended the
Wikistories office hours, provided feedback, and asked questions about our
exploration to incorporate the Wikistories workflow in Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikistories_on_Commons> [2]. We
received valuable input from the office hours participants who attended the
different office hours, and we have summarized the discussions here:
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikistories_Office_hours_with_WikiCommons
Takeaways from the discussions
Most questions asked during office hours were aimed at understanding the
tool's features and its moderation in Commons. We answered the questions
based on our design thoughts; some other comments were insights for the
Inuka team into areas of consideration while working on the initiative to
optimize the tool's usage when it is developed.
Therefore, the above suggests curiosity from Commons contributors about the
Wikistories initiative. The Inuka team sees this as a sign to proceed to
the next step of this project unless the community collectively thinks
otherwise.
What next?
We are allowing other community members to read the office hours note, ask
follow-up questions or provide feedback about the initiative for the Inuka
team’s awareness and engagement as we proceed on this project. The Inuka
team will post periodic updates to help the WikiCommons community stay
aware and involved during the project phases.
Best regards
Uzoma Ozurumba
