Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Hey folks, I'm happy to announce the launch of the Inspire Campaign on Measuring Community Health.[1] The goal of this campaign is to gather your ideas on approaches to measure or evaluate the experience and quality of participating and interacting with others in Wikimedia projects. So what is community health? Healthy projects promote high quality content creation, respectful collaboration, efficient workflows, and effective conflict resolution. Tasks and experiences that result in patterns of editor frustration, poor editor retention, harassment, broken workflows, and unresolved conflicts are unhealthy for a project. As a movement, Wikimedians have always measured aspects of their communities. Data points, such as editor activity levels, are regularly collected. While these metrics provide some useful indications about the health of a project, they do not give major insights into challenges and specific areas needing improvement or what areas have been successful. We want to hear from you what specific areas on your Wikimedia project should be evaluated or measured, and how it should be done. Share your ideas, contribute to other people’s submissions, and get involved in the new Inspire Campaign. After the campaign, grants and other paths are available to support the formal development of these measures and evaluation techniques.[2] With thanks, Chris Schilling [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Develop Chris "Jethro" Schilling I JethroBT (WMF) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:I_JethroBT_(WMF)> Program Officer, Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
