Final working draft dated 19 February 2019.

Our work in 2019 will mainly build upon and consolidate the on-going work from 2018.

Inreach & outreach

Partnerships

Translation (metric: number of articles created).

Internal

Outreach to at least 10 affiliates this year:

  • Indian Chapter - distribution of the South Asia version of IIAB from within the country.
  • Wikimedia Germany - more collaboration along the lines of the disaster management workshop (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Katastrophenschutz/Veranstaltungen/Workshop_zu_Wikimedia_und_Katastrophenmanagement_2018).
  • Wikimedia UK - led by Doug connecting volunteers/staff from WMUK; and Sam to organise medical events and further collaboration.
  • Continue collaborating with the Central Eastern Europe Wikimedia affiliates (CEE), again with the goal of attending their annual meeting, presenting and reaching out to specific chapters - Shani
  • WM Taiwan - James will lead collaborations and look for new initiatives.
  • Reaching out to the Wikipedia & Education user group - Shani.
  • Reaching out to the Wikidata Community User Group - Daniel, Lane & Shani.
  • Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana - Daniel to follow up last year's collaboration, especially around disaster management.
  • Wikimedia Israel - Shani.
  • Wikimedia Armenia - James & Susanna

VideoWiki (Pratik)

Wikimedia is a multi-media project and has the ability to deliver to its audiences in many formats. Text and static images have been used for several years now, but video has posed unique problems for its adoption, notably ease of creation and editing, and guarantees of verifiability. WPMEDF has been testing ways of achieving delivery of video content that meets these standards, and will continue to do so throughout 2019.

Now that we have a functional system of producing scripted videos that can be demonstrated, start to lay the foundations of gaining acceptance of this technology among the projects.

We’re in touch with John Cummings over what’s possible. Shani will be presenting during Mobile Learning Week at UNESCO during March and will talk about Wikidata.
