Lessons learned

What lessons were learned that may help others succeed in similar projects, or that may change the way you are doing this project?

What went well, or is going well?

en:

1. The return rate of the participants is higher then we expected.
2. Some of the first joined participant are volunteered to actively organize the event, they have proposed a lot of ideas to make the meet up better, and some of them are actually feasible and put into work.

zh-hant:

1. 參與過的志工，再次參與的意願很高，超出我們的預期。
2. 有引起志工主動投入組織的工作。她們主動提出了很多聚會方式的點子，有些已經在執行中。

What did not go well, or is not going well?

en:

1. We did think about put the baby sitting fee into the budget to make the event parent friendly. However, the participation rate of women who are married or have kids is still low.
2. The progress of editing and translating articles is rather slow.
3. There are less new editors in the later stage of this project.

zh-hant:

1. 即使可以提供保姆服務，已婚、有孩子的女性參與度仍然不高。
2. 編輯與翻譯的進度緩慢。
3. 後期的新參與者變少了。

From your answers above, do you plan to change anything you are doing as your project continues?

en:

1. We are working on a new campaign to promote the idea of editing not only by this offline event, but also more actively to raise of the awareness to more women on this community. Hopefully through the new campaign we can improve the stagnation of the number of participants.
2. We have used "How to edit Wikipedia" brochure in Chinese version to teache the basic interface, but we possibly need to develop the materials to show how to write articles.
3. We will need to use surveys and other posible approaches to investigate the reason of low participantion rate with married women, and then redesign a more practical way to help them to engage.

zh-hant:

1. 我們已經著手規畫除了線下的宣傳方案，讓更多女性知道這個社群的存在，以改善參與者數量成長停滯的問題。
2. 除了維基的操作說明之外，可能需要開發寫作指南教材。
3. 需要透過問卷或其他方式，調查已婚女性無法參與活動的原因，再設計更實用的協助方案。

Outcomes and impact

Outcomes

Provide the original project goal here.

1. To create a friendlier space for regular Wikimedia meet-ups of solely women. /
   為台灣首成立的純女性定期維基聚會創造更友善的空間。
2. Translate global documents, films, and webpages of "Women participation into WIkimedia Movements" into Chinese, in order to work toward this task even easier for Chinese Wikimedia community. /
   將國際上有關「提升女性參與維基媒體運動」的文件、影片及網頁譯成中文，使中文維基社群方便參與此一工作。
3. Produce a Chinese report at least once a month during the project. We will study how to increase the participation of women in Wikimedia Movement according to the result on the observation of these meet-ups. /
   計畫期間每個月將至少一篇中文報告，根據觀察定期聚會的成果，研究提升女性參與維基媒體運動的方法。

Do you expect to reach your project's goal? Why or why not?

1. Yes, we do. We have continually organize the monthly event, and more then 50% of participants are willing to participate again. /
   有達成。我們已經連續19個月舉辦了聚會，超過50%的參與者都願意再次參與活動。
2. No, we don't expect to reach the original goal. Even though we have accomplish the translation on Women in Red and encourage the WikiWomen community in Taiwan to engage with the international team. However, apart from this work, we are still lack of enough participation of multilingual talents to translate many materials. /
   未達成。雖然我們有完成了「當紅女人」專案的翻譯，讓社群能夠參與，但除了這個頁面外缺乏成果。我們曾經引導過傳記條目、女性專題頁面的翻譯，但是進度都十分緩慢。這跟我們的社群人數不夠多，未能有夠多語言能力足夠且時間充裕的志工有關。
3. Yes, we do. The monthly reports in Chinese pointed out some new discoveries on the ambiance, format, goal setting, human resource of volunteers. /
   有達成。這些報告在聚會的氣氛掌握、形式、目標設定、志工人力運用上都提出了一些發現。
