Monthly Report July/August
The first month of our project focused on administration work: We had to figure out how we would tax the project funds, how to hire and pay a developer and many small tasks, that come with the start of the project.
At the same time, we wanted to prepare the outreach and possible collaborations with the communities, that we believe could be interested in our work:
- For the research community, we plan to find researchers that are interested in collaborations in the topic around Scribe
- We wrote a blogpost to start the project and to introduce which areas we plan to include
- We were asked to submit a video to the conference Worlds of Wikimedia
- For the Wikimedia community, we want to introduce the editors to the project, collect their opinion and understand how they currently edit to draw from their experience
- We started submitted and prepared a presentation at Wikimania, as part of the community growth space
- We got an ethics approval for interviews from the University of Southampton to conduct a series of interviews with editors
- We started a survey and interviews with editors across different language Wikipedias that give us first insights into their editing. We plan to continue those interviews, the link to sign up for participation can be found here
Presenting the Scribe protoype at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2019 in Prague
- Finally, one of the communities we want to address is the technical volunteer community of Wikimedia Projects. We believe to build a sustainable project, we need to include the technical volunteers from the very beginning of the project
- We participated in the Wikimedia hackathon (a blogpost about the experience can be found here) with a poster
- We created a Scribe Phabricator Board to keep track of tasks in a way that makes it easy for interested community members to participate
- We worked with two programmers on the prototype of Scribe at the hackathon. We are happy to announce that there is a very first prototype in the form of a user script, that gives an idea of how the project works
- We are participating in the hackathon leading to Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. Again, we plan to show volunteers the different possibilities to work with us on Scribe's technical part
