Part 2: Metrics[edit]

8a. In your application, you outlined some core metrics that you would like to measure and the targets for each metric. In the following table please highlight the metrics and describe the qualitative or quantitative results to date, if applicable. You can also provide any comments or analysis regarding these results and mention the tools used.

Core Metrics Summary
Core metrics Description Target Results Comments Methodology
Number of participants New participants: 250

Returning participants: 200

450
Number of editors This will be measured via the growth of the median of active editors in Q4 as compared to Q4 2021. Target number is TBD once we have full date for 2021. We will be targeting a 2.5% growth year over year.
Number of organizers We understand "organizers" as community leaders, self-organizing volunteers, and people who can animate the community in line with community needs and Wikimedia Poland's mission. Currently we have a small number of such volunteers, working on a variety of working groups. We intend to make these people more effective and engaged, rather than expanding it too quickly.

However, our hope is to also develop several people who would be able to organize editing contests with minimal support (see section d. below.

Wikimedia Project Description Target Results Comments Methodology
Wikipedia Wikimedia Poland's community animation work has resulted in a large array of editing contests and great engagement (5000 pages created or significantly improved as part of contests in 2021 so far). However, a negative result of our work in this area was the gradual retreat of wikipedians from the tasks surrounding the organization and running of contests. In 2021, we have started to reverse this by gradually giving more power and responsibilities back to volunteers, and we would want to continue this trend with the help of additional staff in 2022.

This is a crucial change since we see organizational work (of which on-wiki contests are the easiest form) to be the beginning of a path towards leadership and coordination roles within the Wikimedia movement, both locally and internationally. And we desperately need fresh blood in these more "meta" roles, to enable succession and ensure sustainability.
