Grants:APG/Proposals/2019-2020 round 2/Wikimédia France/Progress report form
Purpose of the report
[edit]This form is for organizations receiving Annual Plan Grants to report on their progress after completing the first 6 months of their grants. The time period covered in this form will be the first 6 months of each grant (e.g. 1 January - 30 June of the current year). This form includes four sections, addressing grant metrics, program stories, financial information, and compliance. Please contact APG/FDC staff if you have questions about this form, or concerns submitting it by the deadline. After submitting the form, organizations will also meet with APG staff to discuss their progress
Overall situation
[edit]With the Covid-19 pandemic whom is still very present and having caused a partial lockdown of the country for 6 weeks, the activity of the association has necessarily been impacted. We therefore continued to transfer some of our activities online by developing contribution contests. The French-speaking Wikiconvention, the cancellation of which had been announced in April 2020, generally taking place during this period, was a very strong mobilization element for our members. Our General Assembly was also held 100% online. Some programs are impacted quite clearly. For example, the high school Wikiconcours which brings together nearly 80 high schools each year in normal times, only managed to attract half of them this year. We have therefore set up more detailed support for participants to see if we can compensate for this drop in initial participants with a greater number of classes which go to the end of the competition. The local groups of volunteers, who are major players in mobilization and activities in France, have not really been able to meet and imagine collective actions since last spring. Faced with this situation, and like the rest of the Wikimedia movement, we adapt, we innovate and try to "take advantage" of the period to think about and organize our future actions, in connection with the process of implementing the 2030 strategy.
This complex situation does not seem to have an impact on our fundraising at this time. We have no particular difficulty in this area for the moment and we are delighted.
In parallel, the WMFr's staff has undergone some changes since last summer. The system and networks administrator left the association in August 2020. He was replaced and a new employee (Michael Barbereau) was recruited in November 2020. We have also made the choice to recruit a person in charge of public affairs . Conducted jointly and with the active participation of FKAGEU, Naphsica Papanicolaou joined the salaried team of Wikimedia France at the beginning of January 2020. It should thus strengthen the advocacy actions of Wikimedia France with the French public authorities very active on the issue of the regulation of digital technology and thus support WMDE and FKAGEU at the European level.
Metrics and results overview - all programs
[edit]All programs | 2020-2021 targets | Progress report (end of Q2) | Progress report 2019-2020 | Projected (end of year) | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Participants | 4370 | 924 | 2211 | On track | We had anticipated a drop in participation, particularly because of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is confirmed with the almost total absence of activity by local groups following a national reconfinement between the end of October and mid-December. In addition, compared to the previous year, the French-speaking Wikiconvention had to be canceled. We still plan to achieve our goal through the reopening of WikiMOOC and the organization of GLAM Days, the launch of a webinar program plus the organization of several online contribution contests. |
Newly registered | 1915 | 309 | 595 | On track | As for the number of participants, the virtual absence of training and workshops does not facilitate the creation of an account but we intend to achieve this objective thanks to online contribution competitions and via the WikiMOOC and the high school Wikiconcours which was able to resume this year, despite the pandemic. |
Content pages created or modified | 132100 | 145606 | 56126 | Objectives already achieved | We achieved this goal faster than expected. First, because the pandemic has forced us to imagine new forms of online action that have provided a lot of content. Secondly, because Lingua Libre is in an important growth phase which generates a lot of new content. Finally, Wikimedia France has supported the establishment of a Wiktionary in residence whose work has enabled the improvement of more than 35,000 pages on the French Wiktionary. |
Volunteer hours | 6500 | 1764 | 1845 | On track | Through participation in juries or the organization of online competitions, but also thanks to micro-grant program, we do not currently see a drop in volunteer hours this year, but we remain vigilant. |
Partners satisfactions | 82.5% | n.a | n.a | On track | Evaluate at the end of the year |

---|---|---|---|---|
Metrics | 2019/20 Target | Progress (at end of Q2) | Projected (end of year) | Explanation |
Participants | 3100 | 90 | On track | We still lack a lot of data such as the number of high school students participating in the 2020-2021 edition of the high school Wikiconcours. Likewise, WikiMOOC 2021 will be launched in March 2021 and we will organize professional days. |
Newly registered editors | 1450 | 34 | On track | Ditto, we still lack a lot of data (Wikiconcours, WikiMOOC ...) |
Pages added/improved | 11100 | 36511 | Achieved | We have already achieved this goal thanks to the work of the Wiktionary in residence at the University of Lyon 2, a mission funded by Wikimedia France |
Volunteer hours | 850 | 229 | Opportunity for improvement | Few contribution workshops and training sessions due to the pandemia |
Partners satisfaction | 82,5% | To be evaluated in June 2019 | On track | We assess partner satisfaction in June |

Quick conclusion
[edit]Despite cancellations, some projects have been able to move forward such as the observatory and MOOCs. We also had the pleasure of seeing the wikimedian residency organized around the Wiktionary in Lyon come to an end. This collaboration, the first in France since 2013, should allow us to relaunch the model of Wikimedian residences within public institutions by communicating around a recent and very positive result, for the institution and for the community.
Program B: Diversify participation in the Wikimedia movement

[edit]Program B : Diversify participation in the Wikimedia movement | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Metrics | 2019/20 Target | Progress (at end of Q2) | Projected (end of the year) | Explanation |
Participants | 700 | 337 | On track | Participants come from online workshops aimed at reducing gender bias in partnership with Sans PagEs, Lingua Libre and training workshops and contirbution competitions organized in Guyana. |
Newly registered editors | 290 | 105 | On track | New accounts come from Lingua Libre and Overseas |
Pages added/improved | 91000 | 87445 | On track | The objective for the year has almost been achieved and will be exceeded in the coming weeks. Lingua Libre remains the main project providing a lot of content. 84% of the sounds recorded on Lingua Libre are reused on a hundred other Wikimedia projects |
Volunteer hours | 2450 | 1247 | On track | French-speaking cooperation within the framework of the 2030 strategic discussions or even the organization of online events represent the major part of the volunteer commitment. |

Activity report
[edit]What has been done?
[edit]- WikiFranca coordination meetings and collaborative document writing organizing WikiFranca (Cooperation charter, Strategic plan)
- Organization of Lingua Libre training workshops in partnership with INALCO
- Organization of the "Illustrate Guyana" competition
- Setting up a monthly meeting with the Occitan-speaking Wikipedia community
- Financial and logistical partnership with associations fighting against gender bias on Wikimedia projects (Sans PagEs, AFF)
- Support for the activities of French-speaking affiliates via the Wikimedia France micro-grant commission. This committee is also open to people outside of France with the participation of a member of Wikimedia Côte d'Ivoire and Wikimedia Cameroon to assess funding requests.
What will be done?
[edit]- Organization of an online contribution day on the occasion of March 8 (International Women's Day)
- Training and contribution activities in French and Guyanese Creole in partnership with the University of Guyana (South America)
- Improvement of Lingua Libre (update of MediaWiki and correction of bugs)
- Organization of the French contribution month
- Organization of francophone webinar for the volunteers
Quick Conclusion
[edit]Wikimedia France has set up partnerships to support initiatives linked to the gender gap but we are sometimes worried about the exhaustion of the volunteers who support these projects and will work with them to perpetuate these projects essential to the movement. The big developments concerning Lingua Libre will occupy us in the coming months. The only small regret we have concerns the project in Occitan. Occitan Wikipedia is alive and new content is added every day, but the community is too small and we find ourselves a little stuck between linguistic institutions which, although wanting to promote and develop the Occitan language, do not adopt a very collaborative approach and opened. We will therefore have to be wary and work on this problem in the coming weeks.
Program C: Support, animate and strengthen the community
[edit]Metrics
[edit]Program C : Support, animate and strengthen the community | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Metrics | 2019/20 Target | Progress (at end of Q2) | Projected (end of the year) | Explanation |
Participants | 570 | 497 | On track | The pandemic has led us to reinvest much more in the encyclopedia by imagining and building with the community contribution contests on different themes. |
Newly registered editors | 175 | 170 | On track | the highly visible and fairly widely publicized contribution contests attracted new contributors. |
Pages added/improved | 30000 | 21650 | On track | WLM but also the contribution contests brought many contributions |
Volunteer hours | 3200 | 288 | Attention required | Volunteer involvement mainly consisted of organizing and participating in competition juries. As face-to-face meetings and events are prohibited, it is difficult to plan more. |

- Wikisolidaire (Contribution competition on NGOs )
- Support for the organization of community Wikicompetitions by awarding a Wikimedia France prize
- Establishment of psychological support for contributors in pain

Quick Conclusion
[edit]In the coming months, we will continue to animate our community as well as possible with contribution contests and by supporting them financially, logistically and humanely. We are going to organize training in conflict management on Wikimedia projects in order to alleviate the suffering sometimes caused by contributing to Wikipedia. We will also be testing our online welcome program to engage new members. This happens, especially in this period through a redefinition of the voluntary missions of the association but also integration paths through, for example, a redesign of the association's website and the main pages of the association on Wikimedia projects.
