Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share a project currently under consideration for IdeaLab
funding and which may be of direct interest to the Wiki analytics
community. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested,
let me know. If you have feedback for the project, please submit it to the
discussion pages or email me.
Thanks!
Jason
*Wiki Controversy Monitoring Engine Call for Developers*
*Purpose*: The controversy monitoring engine maintains a real-time rating
of the controversiality of Wikipedia articles by listening to the live
stream of edits from Wikipedia. We need someone who is interested in
building the web interface and interactive visualizations around these
controversies to enable administrators to monitor, investigate, and, if
need be, intervene to deescalate controversies. The goal is to create a
site like
stats.wikimedia.org.
*Requirements*: Knowledge of web development, web-based visualization,
and\or data analysis using Wikipedia's API or WikiData.
*For More Information*: see
