Grants talk:IdeaLab/Medios potenciados con Wikinoticias

Interesting Idea: can you help identify what you want the outcomes to be?

Hi @Dtorbay:. Its exciting to see interest in WikiNews. I am not aware of very many outreach projects that have tried to build WikiNews. We find, generally, in doing outreach for Wikimedia projects, its not always useful to "bring a large people together to learn how to contribute as partners": because each and every organization that could be a partner, will have very different needs, and simply learning how to contribute, might not be enough for them to figure out "how it fits in their work". Here are some specific questions to consider:

• Are there specific organizations you are already in contact with?
• Do you know someone who you could pilot a project with, so that you could demonstrate WikiNews's practical application in this space?
• Would it make sense to do some type of pre-research about these organizations problems?

Let me know if I can help or clarify Astinson (WMF) (talk) 19:58, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
