As for the cost-benefit question: YES ABSOLUTELY we need all the costs
involved! This is one of the major gaps we saw in reporting: we weren't
able to

I will be there :)

hi jessie, nice to hear this from you! how will the central cost be
considered, e.g. grantmaking department of the wmf?

In general, using Google to store Wikimedia slide decks is a bad idea as that's
essentially temporary (and restricted-access) storage - it's much better to
upload a copy to Commons so they are properly archived (hopefully
indefinitely!) and available to all...

Hoi,
I have done a project and there were two parts to my project. There was the
delivery of an input method and a font for a script that did not have any
UNICODE font. At that time there was functionality for fonts. So it should
have been a shoe in. The cost of the project was relatively large.
Another point to consider is that comparing grants that include staff
compensation to grants that do not is necessarily tipping the scales.
Volunteer time is a cost too (though borne by the volunteers themselves and
not by the funder), and ignoring it in cost-benefit analysis will always
give the
If people are interested in the background to Gerard's rant, the grant he
is talking about is [1], and the incomplete report he has been hassled
about is [2]. I don't want to hijack this thread to discuss this specific
example, but I welcome discussion on that grant report's talk page, and

Good point, Asaf. Jessie, is there a way to take this into account when
compating costs and benefits?
I agree with Gerard that there can be survey or reporting fatigue, though I
have yet to hear an IEG grantee complain. The APG application and reporting
system seems more extensive and I can see

Hi,
Are the slides available anywhere? I'm especially interested in the
heat map. Is there an interactive version online (or at least the data
behind it)?
Thanks,

The grantmaking slides seem to be limited to WMF employees though.
Jessie,
Can you make sure that your slides from yesterday are shared publicly so
people can take a look at them? Right now they seem to be shared only to
WMF employees.
Thanks!

In today's WMF Metrics and Activities Meeting [1] Jessie Wild's
presentation starting around 1:05:00 compared the meta-level grantmaking
programs. The presentation is about 12 minutes long.
Jessie, I have two questions, and other people may want to ask questions as
well.
1. I'm aware that
Thanks for listening to the presentation, Pine!
There will be a more comprehensive analysis posted on Meta, but in the
meantime to answer your questions:
1. I'm aware that Program Evaluation is examining the outcomes of
conferences this year, and Jamie and I have discussed this in at least
Hi Jessie,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Issue 1 may be challenging to measure even with Wikimetrics. Can we talk
about this during the Research Hackathon next week if we can set up a time
off-list?
Thanks for the info about issue 2. I am grateful to learn that you did an
evaluation of PEG. It is
