Hello everyone
This is to bring in your kind notice that during Women Train the Train
Program in Delhi on 9th March 2019, we had a session on Trust and Safety
with Ms. Sydney Poore where she informed us about the different initiatives
planned by the team at WMF to make the Wikimedia a more secure place for
everyone.
On those lines, Community Health Initiative is a combined project that
involves multiple initiatives (designing harassment tools like user
reporting system, etc.) to counter issues and discussions to make them
better. One of these initiatives is forming a 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. Please visit the User
reporting system 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 also
can sign up to be a liaison for the community or to translate messages or
join a focus group.
We need to discuss the existing systems and share our inputs on how we can
make it better. We have listed the objectives of this initiative and the
relevant resources on our central Indic Wikimedia Portal under the
head- Community
Health Initiative
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wikimedia_Portal/Community_Health_Initiative>.
If you feel interested to work on this, please list your names as Community
Liaisons in the relevant section on the page. We understand that you might
have a lot of questions about this, please feel free to list them in the
relevant section on the page. The intention to share the information before
the beginning of the Discussion Phase is to understand how many of us are
interested in working on this. If there is a need, we’ll plan hangouts
sessions for clarity of the project and the desired inputs of interested
candidates.
Looking forward to working cumulatively to make Wikimedia projects a better
space for participation.
Regards,
Manavpreet Kaur
