I wanted to let you know that on behalf on the WLM international team, I submitted to the community wishlist [1] the project: “An organizer dashboard for multimedia contribution drives”.

This idea started at the team offsite meeting of last year. I hope you find it interesting too. :) Feel free to comment, whether to support it or to raise potential problems with the idea as currently framed.

There was something I would like to clarify to you, local organizers. In this project proposal, I outline issues that we identified as being common in WLM (and similar competitions) − but that does not mean they happen all the time, everywhere :)

So for example, when I write that « monitoring the large volumes of contributions may often fall back on the shoulders of Wikimedia Commons editors » − I know for a fact that many many local organizer teams do an amazing job checking every single upload − but I mean that there is nothing that makes it really easy for them to do it.

Same, when I write that « it may take months before participants hear back from the organizers » − I know that some organisers make a point to follow up with every uploader − but that then again, there is no easy way of doing it.
