Hi WREN and GLAM folks,
I need your insights into what could be a very problematic year for us in
the GLAM wiki community, as our metrics tools to measure our impact are in
crisis and disrepair. If you have any insights, please do share them here,
or in the GLAM Wiki Telegram group where this conversation started
happening recently.
I sent a "HELP!" message to the Wikimedia SE content partnerships help desk
just the other day, included below, and hope this may be useful to start a
conversation. If there is enough interest, we might want to start a wiki
page to formally document our needs as a GLAM wiki community. Thanks.

I'd like to formally employ the Helpdesk's services in getting some care
and attention to BaGLAMa2. It seems to have been failing since the end of
last year, and even then, it was reporting extremely low figures for all
categories. This is one of the few tools we have in the GLAM wiki community
to measure impact and to make the case for sustaining our work.

Without these basic metrics, 2023 could prove to be a disastrous year for
continuing efforts. So far, we have been unable to report good, reliable
numbers to folks such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Smithsonian
Institution. Other on-demand tools such as Glamorgan usually cannot handle
such large category trees, and also have their own problems with not being
able to read the pageviews API numbers accurately, which is another issue
in itself.

In short - help! How can we get this on the radar screen of people who can
put more care, attention, and resources into this? Thanks.

Hi Flo & all,
I would be very interested in collaborating on a shared proposal to
Wikimania this year. A panel seems like a great idea.
I have not been very involved on the listserv and with the WREN group
(apologies!), but as a refresher, I work with the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative
to engage scholars in writing studies (i.e. rhetoric, composition,
technical communication, literacy, and language studies) to edit Wikipedia
as a form of public scholarship.
Cheers,
Savannah
Hi everyone,
I hope this message finds you all well!
A while ago, we received this message and I thought it could be something
WREN's members would be interested in.
If any of you is interested and would prefer I do the bridge between you
and Zac Traeger, let me know and I can arrange that.
Hoping this is of interest!
Best,
Giovanna

Hello,
I'm the executive director of an arts and culture non-profit in Austin, TX
called The Museum of Human Achievement. We're interested in hosting a
Wikimedian in residency and hosting a series of meetups around Mediawiki
software and the broader community. Can you help me get in contact with
Wikimedians or point me to resources that might be helpful in my region?
