TL;DR: The Global Data & Insights team is recruiting [1] Wikimedia movement researchers, organizers, grantees, and affiliates to partner in piloting and consulting on some new movement metrics in February and March 2022.  

The Global Data & Insights team will launch a pilot [2] beginning February 2022 for consultation on a new project mapping existing Wikimedia Movement engagement data by geography. The project intends to surface existing data to help our movement have a better understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion across known pathways for engaging with Wikimedia, including reading and editing or organizing programs, grants, or affiliates. It will help us answer shared questions about who is in our movement, what voices may be missing, and where. 

They are looking for volunteers who are actively engaged in strategic planning, implementation, or research focused on the Wikimedia movement’s development along two specific use cases to which the pilot metrics are geared toward. 

* Use Case 1: Directing grant funds and resource opportunities to spaces ready for growth

* Use Case 2: Directing non-monetary support and partnership opportunities to spaces ready for development and able to support the work.
