Re: [Wikimedia-l] The first three weeks.

Hi James Do we have any figures on retention of new editors? How long does the average new editor stay? What percentage of new editors stays on for 6 months; one year; two years? Do we have these figures for all languages? New editors should be allowed space to grow. Wikipedia is so rich in devel

Thanks for this update. Ii is refreshing to see both your will to act in accordance with our tradition of transparency and also to see your open curious approach to your new assignment (and your will to start up strategy work). I get two reflections when I read through your mail. Do not forg

Re: [Wikimedia-l] The first three weeks.

MZMcBride -- We are a little bit in the tricky situation because our strategy has not been updated yet.

It is great to hear how you are working to learn about the vast Wikimedia community, its projects, its priorities and its challenges, Lila. I'm thinking there's something else that all of us should help you celebrate as well: after only a few weeks on the job, being named to the Forbes list of th

[Wikimedia-l] The first three weeks.

Hello Wikimedians, I wanted to give you an update on my first three weeks of Wikimedia immersion -- this will also go on the blog. As you probably noticed, my leadership approach is rooted in observation and focused discussions -- this means I watch and listen more than I talk. But I expect that
