Hi everyone! Three updates for you from the Program Evaluation & Design team:

  1. We'd love your feedback on the type of data we're requesting from program leaders, like yourselves, to share with us about specific programs in an upcoming survey (yay, more surveys!). This is an important one! We'd love your feedback and the feedback from community members around the world. So please share and provide feedback by Thursday: 
    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program_Evaluation_and_Design/Resources/Pilot_Reporting_Items
    This survey will go out at the end of the week, so for many of you, you'll get an email requesting your voluntary (pretty please!) participation. 
  2. A new edit-a-thon evaluation is out which is the first of what we hope will be many made by the movement. Find inspiration in what has basically become a template for edit-a-thon evaluations. And if you need help doing your own, ask me! (I did it!)

  3. Next Google Hangout scheduled for October 2, Wednesday, 16:30-17:30. This hangout will be facilitated by Dr. Jaime Anstee, Program Evaluation Specialist. Jaime will update attendees about our latest survey, evaluations, and more. Attendees will be encouraged to share evaluation updates, stories, and ask questions, too. Sign up to attend here and spread the word: https://plus.google.com/u/2/events/cj7innlh3bffaod205vkglec738?authkey=COG2uaWA5-z8vQE
And as always, if you have an evaluation story to share, we'd love to share it on the WMF blog. Just email me! 

Happy Evaluating! 

-Sarah
