Thoughts from FDC staff

Thank you for sharing this report! We appreciated the details of the changes to your plan in terms of program groupings and budget. It’s helpful to us as we try to understand WMCH’s progress over each quarter. We also enjoyed the photos in your report! We see you are developing a more focused approach in areas where you think you will have more impact, and this is exciting.

We were please to see the data you included in the photos you supported; 257 in use on 61 different Wikimedia projects of 1337 uploaded with your support). Congratulations also on the successful Hackathon. We are glad to know too, that WMCH, WMAT, and WMDE, are having regular meetings to discuss coordination across different projects affecting the German-speaking communities. It seems like WMCH is supporting a diverse range of activities through microgrants: we hope there are also some plans in place to track the impact of these grants over time.

We enjoyed seeing that KIWIX app for Android has been downloaded 10,000 times. We’d love to know more in the next report about the feedback from the prison-teaching staff about the offline program in jails.

In future reports, we’d ask you to consider adding content supported (new articles created, articles improved, media files uploaded) by WMCH in the section on growth. Many other entities do include this in the overview section, and it is helpful to have an overall idea of how much content has been supported in each quarter. It also helps us understand impact. To that end, we appreciated the media file numbers as well as the associated usage!
