Thanks for your note Pine. I believe I have already shared this on Wikimedia-l; I haven't shared to Announce, so I can do that.
"Diversity" is multifaceted. I think that some areas offer some hope (e.g. program organizers & affiliate organizers have higher proportion of women and geographic representation), others I am not uncertain whether we put a lot of attention (Education & Age), and in others we are seeing little progress (gender on the projects). And perhaps some aren't even on our radar. I think many teams are still working to understand what are the problems and possible levers that can help us to bring change to these measures. Some of those teams include Contributors/Audiences team, Anti-Harassment Tools, Trust & Safety and Community Resources. Each of these teams bringing their own strengths and angles to the problem. I invite you to read the team reports <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement_Insights/2018_Report/Team_Reports> . The research team is also working on finding a way to capture demographic data as well this year. While we gather this data through CE Insights it is not the most optimal way to measure demographic data. There was also the recent email by Erik Zachte about language diversity (Email subject: "Wikipedias, participation per language") Always to good to start to measure what you want to change. I also invite you (and perhaps everyone on this list) to reflect on: what numbers are most concerning for you related to diversity? What could you do to improve diversity on the projects? And decide how you would like to take action. Hope this helps! Edward On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 8:53 PM Pine W <wiki.p...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Edward, > > Thanks for this publication.
