Hello Ganesh,
Late last year the PE&D team asked for data on edit-a-thons which were completed between September 2013 and September 2014--now the edit-a-thon evaluation report draft is ready for your review.[1] I'm reaching out now because we would love your feedback before we announce the report to the broader community. Does the analysis and presentation resonate with your programs? How is the report useful to you as a program leader? What other data would help to tell the story of edit-a-thons?
An enormous thank you to everyone who contributed data to this report. Because of you, we were able to present 121 edit-a-thons that brought in 2,275 participants and included 5,272 articles created or improved. Our communities now have a better picture than ever of the landscape of edit-a-thons. If you want to discuss key themes and findings with other program leaders, please do share them on the report talk page.
Do you want to discuss edit-a-thons and the report findings with other program leaders? We're hosting a virtual panel of program leaders with group discussion on the themes and findings the week of August 24th. If you have key themes you would like to discuss in the hangout, please do share them on the report talk page!
The estimated plan for review: * Program leaders who submitted data to review until August 16. * L&E to incorporate feedback and announce on the PE&D mailing list and social media the week of August 17. * WMF blog post and a virtual panel the week of August 24.
Thank you again for all your work to track and showcase the results of your edit-a-thons. If you can give feedback on this report, we would appreciate the chance to highlight program leader insights and improve both this and future reports.
Best regards, Amanda Program Evaluation & Design Team Wikimedia Foundation
