Overview[edit]
WMAT highlights of 2019:
- We successfully continued our partnership around online volunteering with Caritas, a program for their volunteers to integrate Wikipedia editing into their volunteer work. A project that is very successful regarding editor retention.
- We had and still have a very well working Austrian network of like-minded communities which helped us to campaign around the EU copyright reform and raise substantial awareness for the matter.
- We hosted our first big Wikidata event together with the Vienna City Library
- We also initiated an Austrian Award for Free Knowledge in order to raise more awareness for free licenses among Austrian institutions in particular. The Award ceremony is part of the Public Domain Month in January 2020.
- We intensified the international engagement around diversity and equity in the movement by hosting two Wikipedia for Peace events (one around EuroPride and one summer camp around the gender gap on Wikipedia) and becoming the fiscal sponsor for the first Queering Wikipedia event in Linz in 2021 (was recently postponed for a year due to the COVID crisis)
- We also managed to get substantial external funding for 2019 and 2020 for our diversity work around Wikipedia for Peace
On an international WMAT board and staff were also heavily involved in the movement strategy process, acting as coordinators and participating in working groups and international events. We managed to to do all this without decreasing our programmatic work, it was especially important to us, that this would not negatively effect our communities and the support they need. As a result we could fulfill or exeed most of our goals. But nevertheless it came with a price tag: The involved staff and volunteers needed to cope with that double load for an extended period of time, a situation that in itself is not sustainable. We also stopped taking on new projects and partnerships as we were lacking the necessary capacities. In addition, the WMF grants system has been in a limbo for years now, little was done to support affiliates involved in and committed to the strategy process by giving them reliable, timely information and security about their financial future. In contrast to our colleagues at the WMF we are forced to work under precarious circumstances, year to year. Our work will be important to implement the strategy on the ground, so this situation has to change soon for the better.

This is a sum of the older metrics of “active editors” and “new editors”. Whereas “organizers” within these groups need to be excluded, other “participants” from the former metrics group of “individuals” who were non-editors need to be included. In 2014, we counted only new editors, not active editors, so the actual number might be a bit higher than 2,560. |

Telling your program stories - all programs[edit]
Community Support[edit]
- A diverse community of volunteers with a wide range of skills, a desire to continually improve their work together and that offers a constructive working environment to existing and new users
What did we achieve so far?
Wikipedia for Peace - blue print for a self-sustaining project
Wikipedia for Peace is arguably on of our biggest success stories: It started in 2015 as an incubator project and a collaboration between WMAT and the local chapter of the peace organisation Service Civil International and through the initiative of a volunteer who is active in both movements. The idea was to adapt the SCI concept of summer camps for young volunteers into online volunteering camps around Wikimedia projects. We supported the project in the first few years with comparably modest financial and staff resources, thanks to the incredible commitment of the volunteer organizers and grass roots culture of the SCI volunteering. The idea gained traction in the movement in the following years with more camps and spin-off events happening in other countries and being hosted by new communities. Five years later there have been 12 camps in Europe and North Africa, with a total of 174 participants from 28 countries who wrote 930 new articles in 32 languages. All of this content was generated by young people under the age of 30 and is exclusively on topics which are usually underrepresented on our projects such as Women* and LGTBQ+. For the anniversary in 2019 we were lucky enough to host two events in Austria: The spin-off event Wikipedia for Peace: "Wikipedia for Peace at Europride 2019 in Vienna" in June and a classic Peace Camp "Wikipedia for Peace: We can Edit!" in Carinthia in August. It was also the first year we could finance the entire Peace Camp with external third party funding via Erasmus+ and managed to secure another funding cycle for an extended and even bigger camp in 2020. But the financial aspect is only one factor which makes this project successful and sustainable - even more rewarding for us is to see new community leaders emerging from this international network: Particularly in the international Wikimedia LGTBQ+ community the spin-off events contributed to new ideas and projects and intensified itnernational collaboration, eventually leading to the planning of the first Wikimedia conference especially dedicated to LGTBQ+ communities and topics "Queering Wikipedia" which WMAT will support as a fiscal sponsor and co-host.
Project Social Topics on Wikipedia
We could successfully extend our newcomer project promoting online volunteering in a classical volunteer organisation like Caritas. In addition to the participants from the last edition who continued their online work on Wikipedia&Co we could expand the group with new people. Fewer people joined than inthe first round, unfortunately no non-males at all, but results in terms of outcome and retention are still impressive. As outlined in the challenges section below it also proofs that successful newcomer work needs resources and long-term investement and it has its limits regarding scalability.
What are our biggest challenges?
Diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion has been a focus of our activities across all programs in the past few years, but of course the ultimate goal is to include a more diverse group into our movement, so the community support aspect is particularly important. While the diversity metric itself has been above target from the beginning, the story becomes more complex and nuanced when you go into the details: Diversity regarding gender for example is generally more challenging for tech events and projects and the diversity numbers in these cases are less satisfying than in other areas. Many of our diversity activities are quite resource intensive, especially regarding staff time: Involving and keeping new groups of contributors that face more barriers is not a sprint, it is marathon and requires energy and attention over a longer period of time. It is not always easy for a lean team like ours to invest these necessary resources, when other projects and issues require our attention. Accordingly, the retention numbers are the only metrics we could not meet and which we will not continue to measure next year (for details please see our last Progress Report) and retention is particularly problematic for many already underrepresented groups which we would like to adress with our work around diversity and inclusion. Nevertheless, bringing more diverse people will stay a priority for us, and we will keep refining our approaches on how to do this best in the various contexts.
What's up next?
Community support in times of Corona
From today's perspective, one of our biggest challenges in all our programs but particularly Community Support will be the current COVID-19 pandemic and how we will adapt to the restrictions. Many of the plans for 2020 were already postponed or cancelled, the Queering Wikipedia Conference was planned for March but was postponed to 2021. Of course other small and big community events and gatherings are equally affected. Hence, our priority is to provide as much support as possible for online community activities and to adapt exisiting formats to the new realities. For this we work closely together with other affiliates and communities to share ressources and experiences. We do expect that our metrics and budgets will be affected by the current situation, to what extend will be dependent on the how long and how severe restrictions will turn out to be. We hope that there will also be global support for communities and affiliates from the WMF to make sure we all make it through this crisis together. Particularly technical support and know-how regarding major online events could be helpful, but also flexible and reliable grant making that enables innovation and exploring new ideas.

Free Content[edit]
- Generating, opening, and distributing multifaceted and valuable content that fascinates and engages Wikimedia volunteers, partners, and readers alike.
What did we achieve so far?
Quantity and quality of media files
2018 was a highly productive year for our photography community and we could maintain a high standard in 2019, even if we do not completely match the extraoridnary numbers from especially the second half of 2018. As described in previous reports, WMAT's main focus concerning content is not the quantity alone, but also to make it as high-quality and valuable as possible. The main criteria being the quality of the content (e.g. decorated images), the added value for Wikimedia projects (e.g. encyclopedic value of rare pictures or documents / usage in Wikimedia projects), and the added value for free knowledge in general, such as new partnerships and contacts or an increased awareness for free licenses in cooperations to liberate content. This is particularly reflected in this year's results of our annual photo contest WikiDaheim: While the overall number of submitted pictures is lower than last year - a common effect in contests which are conducted for multiple years in a row - the overall outcome regarding quality and usage was even further improved: Despite the lower amount of pictures the pages in the main name space of Wikimedia projects using images of the contest stayed almost equal at roughly 2.100. At the same time the number of decorated images almost doubled this year.

Wikimedia Austria is an excellent interface to connect with the various, quite heterogeneous groups in the Wikiverse. They provide reliable organisational support for sustainable community building. |

New GLAM collaborations
In 2019 we saw new GLAM initiatives emerging from newcomer focused community initiatives: As outlined in our Progress Report the KulTouren which were designed as a new entry point for newbies by our expert group on newcomer support, did bring some but not many new faces to the movement, but it inpired the exisiting community members who attended the meetings to create a new WikiProject on Traditional Crafts in Austria. The idea fits perfectly into our strategy of promoting Free Knowldge about Austria on Wikimedia projects but also other platforms such as our RegioWiki. A first successful edition of such GLAM-oriented KulTour was launched in autumn 2019 in Upper Austria. So far such GLAM projects are manageable for us (despite challenges regarding new projects outlined below), as they are clearly limited in duration and scope.
Another new initiative came out of our Wikidata community building: One of our most active new community members works as a systems librarian at the Vienna libraries and together we designed an event to showcase the potential of Wikidata for GLAMs in genereal and libraries in particular. The event resulted in new ideas and potential long-term partnerships, but here we are already hitting a brick wall in terms of the limits of our current (staff) resources.
What are our biggest challenges?
The future of the Open Data Portal
In 2020 the third party project fundings we had for the past few years for the Open Data Portal will come to an end, and even tough we have some resources to continue for a while, the technical maintenance becomes increasingly difficult for us: Our staffing resources do not allow for dedicated tech support and the volunteer model is not viable for a project like this in the long run. With our partners in public administration we are currently negotiating possibilities to host the portal together with the Open Government Data Portal in a public space, which would allow us to concentrate on our core competencies community support and opening data, which also perfectly complement our activities around Wikidata.
Limited potential for new partnerships
Starting and maintaining sustainable partnerships usually depends on considerable staff resources, even with very dedicated volunteers involved a lot of the coordination and communication is facilitated by staff, who are available during office hours, help with research and concept papers etc. Just opening doors for collaboration can be quite time consuming, as GLAM institutions in Austria are generally more conservative and less open than in many other European countries (see also our Free Knowledge Award initative described below in Program 3). Due to our international involvement in the movement strategy process, acting as coordinators and participating in working groups and international events, we also stopped taking on new major projects and partnerships as we were lacking the necessary capacities. We managed to to do all this without decreasing our exisitng programmatic work, as it was especially important to us, that this would not negatively effect our communities and the support they need. As a result we could fulfill or exeed most of our goals throughout the programs. But nevertheless it came with a price tag: The involved staff and volunteers needed to cope with that double load for an extended period of time, a situation that in itself is not sustainable. At the moment it is hard for us to predict how this situation will evolve in the coming year(s), how much involvement in the implementation of the strategy will be necessary and possible without burning out the people involved and how much support there will be from the WMF and other partners on an international level.
Structured data on Commons
We planned for WikiDaheim 2019 to be the first 'Wiki Loves…'-style campaign that will run with Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. The goal was that the renewed custom UploadWizard, resulting from this pilot, can be easily set up by other Wikimedians to use in their own projects and campaigns. However, due to delays in the overall structured data project and hard deadlines for the contest on our side we had to abandon that plan after some initial working meetings with the project coordinators.
What's up next?
Free content via community competitions
Supporting community competitions around photography or article creation is one of the longest standing activities of our chapter. Over the years we gained a lot of experience around the topic and can see that often even modest financial and/or staff input generate amazing an amazing quantity and quality of content. As these activities do not necessarily require travel or in-person meetings, these are perfect activities for the current situation with all the restrictions due to COVID-19. In 2020 we will explore new ideas around competitions with partner communities and affiliates, in order to maximise impact, use synergies and incorporate a broader range of activities such as Wikidata.

Reach / Free Knowledge Awareness[edit]
- Creating collective impact on a societal level by working with and through others to achieve a greater impact than we could ever achieve alone.
What did we achieve so far?
Outreach events
| “ |
The cooperation with Wikimedia Österreich was crucial for the success of our #WikiGap campaign. The Wikimedia Austria team are true mentors - thanks to their professionalism one always felt in good hands. |
” |
— Carina Engström, Trade and Culture Officer at the Swedish Embassy Vienna | ||
In 2019 we conducted to broad range of successful events and initiatives which had outreach as one of their main goals. The events enabled us to raise awareness for Free Knowledge in general and Wikimedia projects in particular among a variety of target groups: The campaign around the EU copyright reform adressed political leaders in Austria and the EU but particularly in the German speaking countries (DACH) also a more general public and young activits who fight for a free and open internet. In partnerships with other organisations and communities such as the Swedish Embassy and Amnesty Austria we could raise awareness among young professionals and activists for the online Gender Gap. Thanks to our Wikidata goes Library event, we could showcase the potential of Wikidata to Austrian librarians and the second edition of Wikipedia vor Ort reached even more people in more places throughout Austria than in the already very successful first run last year. As a result 2019 brought us good media attention on various aspects of our work, new partnerships and in-kind donors, but also more individual donations so we have an all-time high of direct donations.
Third party funding
In 2019 we could fund a substantial part of our outreach material via third party grants, in addition to the new and existing in-kind donations, particularly in the context of our educational activities..
What are our biggest challenges?
Sustainable outreach network
Over the past few years it became increasingly difficult for us to sustain some of our social media channels, particularly Facebook. There are various reasons but a change in media usage (generally fewer people use Facebook in our geographies these days, younger target groups prefer other channels etc) and the fact that reach and visibility have been substantially reduced unless you pay for the services. With our small team and limited budget we cannot afford to maintain a multitude of different channels and we would like to keep pay-for services at a minimum. Despite our best efforts, this development starts showing in our metrics. Hence, we will reassess our social media strategy for 2020 and how to make the most out of the limited resources we have in this regard. While already have successfully pimped and diversified our Twitter presence over the past two years, particularly around netpolitical topics, advocacy, and to reach the tech community, we will probably focus on new channels which are better suited to promote WMAT's other core activities (e.g. Instagram for photography related communication, where we can learn a lot from the Wiki Loves Monuments International team).
What's up next?
Public Domain Month 2020 and the first Austrian Award for Free Knowledge
Introducing January as a globally celebrated Public Domain Month, an idea by the open communities that came together at the Creative Commons Summit 2019 in May in Lisboa, was a good opportunity for us to innovate around Free Knowledge awareness building in Austria. Especially among GLAM and educational institutions, which are still quite conservative and closed compared to many other European countries. We decided to start a Free Knowledge Award to raise awareness for free licenses in general and the public domain in particular. In two categories outstanding institutions and civil society initiatives will be awarded for their contributions to Free Knowledge. The call for nominations was started in autumn 2019 and the award ceremony will be held on Jan 25 during the Vienna Ball of Sciences, a cooperation that was enabled by our long-standing university projects and partnerships.

Resources[edit]
Resources to plan for measurement[edit]
- Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
- Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
- Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
