Description of activities and learning[edit]

All these projects and activities are part of the Shared Knowledge's Annual Plan. This section will describe how the activities progressed during the Third quarter.

Education & Science Program[edit]

1. WikiTranslate

Goals met by this activity

One new educational institution was included in this quarter. It was the private International Slavic University which managed to coordinate and gather 4 students at the workshop. A total of 6 people (including our two activists) were participants at the event and overall in the quarter. The accumulated participants in 2022 is 15 people (88.2% progress, according to the projected 17 annual participants). New people in the quarter were 4, summing the overall of 13 new people in entire 2022, out of planned 15 and that's 86,6% progress. The number of made content pages is 17 in Q4 and the entire 2022 TCP is 47. The projected TCP is 120 (39% achievement).

2. Wikiexperiments

Goals met by this activity

A total of 22 people were part at the two filming sessions in this quarter, which is 260% achievement (26 different people) for whole 2022 (planned 10 participants for the year). 19 people were new participants in Q4, of the planned 8, and that makes 250% progress (20 new participants in 2022). The total content pages in Q4 is 102. If we add the TCP of the previous three quarters TCP, that is total of 226, which means it has overachieved the goal (112,9%) of the planned 200 TCP.

3. WikiLectures

Goals met by this activity

One filming session was made and it was the inaugural one of the project. In that event, 2 people participated (20% success, 10 planned). When it comes to new participants, we had 1 and that presents 12.5% success of the planned 8 new participants. The quota of the annual total content pages is 100, and our product is 21 TCP in Q4 (21% progress).

Community Program[edit]

Goals met by this activity

A total of 21 people were part of the Slovenia Edit-a-thon. During the entire 2022, 34 people made the total participants number, which makes 60.7% progress according to the planned TP metric (56). 18 people were new at the edit-a-thon. That represents 62.5% progress of the 2022 (30 new people of the planned 48). The projected total content pages metric (TCP) is 288 and this quarter has realized 114, 220 in total in all the quarters of 2022. This gets us to 76.3% progress.

6. Editing Days

Goals met by this activity

In this quarter, the project was participated by six different users. By gathering the numbers in the all quarters according to the TP metric, we got participation of 22 people and this metric progressed to 122% (18 planned). There were no new participants in this quarter, just like Q2 and Q3, and by the old outcome of the Q1 (3 people were new) is stays 100% achievement according to the NP metric. In this quarter, the participants contributed with 232 content pages, totaling 1.800 TCP in the period of January to December and that makes 90% progress (planned 2.000 TCP).

7. Editing Weekends

Goals met by this activity

There was 1 photohunt with 2 total participants in this quarter (participants from another previous Q3 photohunt). The total amount of people throughout the year 2022 is 12 which means 133% has been achieved according to the projections.
