Thoughts[edit]

This is great feedback! A few thoughts:

  • Recommendations: it seems there is a mix of things in here, and I wonder if it should be formatted not as "changes" (as said in the intro line), but rather into "Start, Stop, Continue" categories. Rightly, there are several bullet points that are more about thing to keep doing, rather than things to change.
  • Recommendations: for some of these, it is unclear to me if you are pulling things directly from data, or hypothesizing about what could possibly be a good solution. E.g., "Do more things that encourage unselected proposers to keep engaging...Simple acknowledgements like badges, notifications and clear feedback can all contribute to a good experience." Did badges come up as a proposed solution, or is that a possible solution to the problem which the data identified? Would be helpful to decouple.
  • Recommendations: I would love to know which of these things are actually being highly considered! It might be useful to spell that out a little more clearly. If these are all just direct start/stop/continue feedback from the survey, maybe we should be careful to frame it that way instead of instilling solutions within some of them? OR if we want to offer solutions (which is actually useful, I think!), we could do this more systematically.
  • Committee Feedback: I am really interested in the comment "Defining areas (tech, GLAM, etc) and allowing reviewers work exclusively on some of them might help they work more efficiently and help recruit people with necessary skills for each area." This classification system in the forms could be informed by some of the Program Evaluation work.

Great stuff! Clearly a great first start to what I think will prove to be a great program supporting great community :) Jwild (talk) 23:27, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Potential questions to add[edit]

Reading through this, I have a few proposals for future questions to add to this :)

  • [PROPOSERS] how much time did you spend on the proposal process? (open text)
  • [PROPOSERS] Did this amount feel like … Too much? Too Little? About right?
  • [COMMITTEE] how much time did you spend reviewing the applications? (open text)
  • [COMMITTEE] Did this amount feel like … Too much? Too Little? About right?

If those are covered, sorry - I missed them! Jwild (talk) 23:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
