I'm inclined to agree with Matt. In fact (and to answer Oliver's question), the team is already considering the next slew of micro-contribution projects. I think it is too early to say which projects will be next, but some ideas include: choosing lead images, editing wikidata descriptions, and refining categorization of topics. Joaquin, I agree that lessons learned would be helpful. As someone who came to the project at the very end, I don't feel entitled to point out things that should have been done differently. As a member of the team that made the decision to pause development, however, I would be happy to help establish criteria that projects need to meet (as a minimum) in order to see continued effort. Given my limited bandwidth, this is not something I can promise anytime soon and I encourage others to take a first stab. -J On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 6:23 PM, Matthew Flaschen wrote: > On 06/02/2015 06:00 AM, Joaquin Oltra Hernandez wrote: > >> Now there's a lot of skepticism towards the idea in any of its forms :( >> > > I still think micro-contributions are an important future direction > (whether or not WikiGrok is re-activated). > > Given how successful the metrics were from WikiGrok, it's hard to see why > there should be skepticism about the idea of micro-contributions. > > Matt Flaschen > > > > ___ > Mobile-l mailing list > Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l > ___ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
