The Program Evaluation & Design team is here when needed. Evaluation is voluntary, and can only help to show you what an impact your program (i.e. WLM) is making, and to see how you can make a bigger impact, especially for "less bang for your buck" as we say in the US (meaning "more impact for less input - money/time/people")

Anyone who responded to our last survey will be contacted to share data from last years Wiki Loves Monuments. This is going to help us learn more about the type of data specifically you're gathering and how we can work with you, if you wish, to make better tools and share what you've done to make an awesome event even more awesome with others. 

New blog is here: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/09/27/survey-strong-culture-of-evaluation-room-for-growth/

If you're someone in charge of collecting data and parsing it for Wiki Loves Monuments in your country/town/whatever, and you did not receive the most recent program evaluation survey, and want to share your data with us in the survey launching today, please contact me. We know you are all busy, but, your participation would be deeply appreciated. 

And our new portal launches next week, but, you can find us on meta here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs

Folks can contact me off list if they want to explore partnering with me to help them evaluate their program. I'm doing one right now with WM UK for edit-a-thons.

Hi all,

I do agree with Lodewijk. Once the contest is finished, we need to have some calmed discussion on what do we want 2014 to be. Some contests have raisen up and we all have pro/cons feelings and experiences. 

Some options have already been raised. We could also use some of the program evaluation techniques in order to make a deep avaluation on the project. Sarah, can you help on this? 
Regarding the Wiki Loves Public Art, I do agree that a wider Wiki Loves Art concept could be a great idea. 

So should we stat this debate formally in some wiki page once the contest has finished?
