Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken.
The success of this project depends on collecting ideas and feedback from people in a variety of different roles in the Wikimedia movement. To this end, there will be a multi-phased consultation where you can participate in ways that you are most comfortable.
At this stage the primary objective is to alert interested parties that this new feature(s) will be built starting in the first quarter of the next fiscal year (July 2019.)
Prior to July 2019, there needs to be a rough agreement with contributors across multiple languages of Wikimedia projects about the direction the project will take.
Please visit the consultation page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/User_reporting_system_consultation_2019 to learn more about the process, ask questions or offer feedback. You can sign up to be be a liaison for you community https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/User_reporting_system_consultation/Volunteer_sign_up_page, join a focus group, or translate pages and messages.
Please share this message with other people who you think would be interested. I'm looking forward to working together on this important project.
Warm regards, Sydney
