Hi everyone! (Important areas bolded for people who are TL;DR types[1])

As you may remember, the Program Evaluation and Design team here at WMF has been doing evaluation of programmatic activities in the movement - with your help! THANK YOU! 

We have released our next reporting page about our current focus programs on meta about WORKSHOPS. We appreciate everyone's participation so far, and we've made improvements to the edit-a-thon page based on your feedback, including bolding highlights for those of you who seeking a high level view of our ongoing reporting. 

A third page is now on meta, and ready for improvement and commenting.  It's the WORKSHOPS page, which provides information about:
  • Program basics and history
  • Response rates and limitations
  • Reported data evaluation
  • Priority goals as chosen by program leaders
  • How much budget and time goes into planning workshops
  • What participation is like at workshops
  • Recruitment, retention, and replication details.
  • Next steps (tool building, requests, support, etc)
Feel free to improve and make edits on the talk page. And of course, if you are a program leader/chapter that implements workhops and your data isn't represented, please contact me to submit your data

You can visit this new page here:

We hope you find this report inspiring and helpful. 

Our next report we'll post will be about GLAM content donations. I'll send another email out about that soon. 

Happy evaluating, and be sure to visit us on Facebook[2]
