Grants talk:IEG/Revision scoring as a service/Final
Report accepted[edit]
Thank you for submitting this very thoughtful and thorough Final Report. I’m accepting it today and providing some comments below:
- Terrific job writing an engaging and readable report about a technically erudite subject. Your use of accessible language and inclusion of images makes this a pleasure to read--even as a reader who lacks background in this field. It is interesting to follow the trajectory of development of your ideas through your links to early thinking that inspired the project, reflection on iterative revisions you made along the way and goals for the future.
- It's great that you built so much documentation into your process and made it available in this report.
- The wikilabels gadget is a lovely tool for collaboration. Hearty congratulations on building it.
- Adding the 'unsure' checkbox makes good sense for labeling. It is nice to see iterations based on user behavior.
- Measuring adoption of API is very important. I'm glad to see you are thinking about it for your renewal.
- You highlighted the benefits of hackathons. I encourage you to track how potential contacts from hackathons evolve over time. Do you see your hackathon contacts developing and implementing APIs? Please think about ways you could track this in future reports. We'd like to see your investment in hackathons grow into more volunteer developers using your API service.
- Thank you for finding and listing learning patterns you find valuable in your report. One of the intended goals for learning patterns is that they will be collaboratively developed and refined over time. In that spirit, could you please go into each of the learning patterns you listed and add your endorsement and include a link to your project as a reference? It will take very little time to do so, and will improve the value of the learning patterns for future users. Of course, you are always welcome to make any other improvements as you see fit!
- Your points about global metrics are well taken. You are right that your project doesn't fit the mold they were designed for. We would be happy to hear suggestions for other metrics you are tracking that could be useful for other technical infrastructure projects in future.
Congratulations again on these recent fruitful months! I will be in touch directly about your renewal request.
