shizhao&春捲柯南做了很多努力

是否要改革編修工具

Romaine: writing session, ask Estonian Kharral

Taweetham: 

2 delay - first is on checking, second is sending postcard.

professionalism

Addis: 

Annual event, have postcard printed before asian month. e.g. Chinese wikipedia has finished the judging, then we will send the postcard first.

Taweetham: we can collect feedback from the participants

Addis: We did, collect the address and the survey at the same time, however this cause the participants who are not qualified with the postcard can not give their feedback, so we maybe next year we can ask two different people with this.

Taweetham: 

How is the feedback?

Addis:

…

Taweetham:

contributors  are most of them new comers. maybe we need encourage media on commons (video, sound, images…) for example, the sounds or signature of celebrities, and we ask people who upload 20 files of it. 

3 category

# creating article

# adding media that can has already been used in Wikipedia articles

# adding media

First (number) people then they can get souvenirs. Not first 10%, so we can make people happy. 

Minimun contribution - online daily ranking. (Kenrick95 may help with this)

孔恩愛:

We think WAM is very successful, and we want to participate this year.

Addis: 

3X countries different postcards sent

7X coordinaters (zhwiki 5, enwiki 5, jawiki 3, krwiki3 1) arabic doesn’t participate

Taweetham:

We need to talk to them, such as malay, arabic….

We want to reach language above 10 000 articles

If lower then 10 000, then it’s a friendly and outreach

Addis:

1/4 is less 2 years

190 new users in the event, only 1-2 complete the all process, that’s we think next time we should have easier criteria.

Reke:

We can promote something in a topic, such as "what’s the worst food you think"

Taweetham:

The tools is changing, we should focus on article that people want to see or write.

Addis:

Chinese wikipedia do 動員令 every year, 

Taweetham:

I am talking about use page view metrics, who get high views.

Liang:

Do you mean that who got into did you know section?

Taweetham:

It is not the case in Thai Wikipedia, readers are using google instead of use did you know to find results. So if we encourage people to edit articles that has high page views, 

恩愛:

but page views can be manipulated by bot

Addis: 

maybe we can try this in 1 wikipedia, for example we use it on thai. If it’s successful, then we apply this in other wikipedia next year.

Biyanto:

Special awards for the highest views articles

Taweetham:

Maybe another option that there is no reward, we just show people the page views, so it will make them happy. Only show them page views.

Biyanto:

You can divide the article? Is this should be new articles?

Addis:

Most of the language is new artilces. but some with the large amount wikipedia (hard for the judges to review, but english is already done)

Biyanto:

if I write in english wikipedia, and we ask participant with new wikipedia. we should provide a list. just like woman in red.

Addis: 

Or like Asaf we should provide other 

Biyanto:

Deepen in every Wikipedia. Maybe we can encourage for certain topics in certain language.

Addis: 

Be careful to make volunteer feel unhappy. This might get annoyed contributors that doesn’t know certain topics on the certain language.

Isabella: 

It was an experiment from last year. But most of the time people doesn’t have enough momentem to write.

恩愛：

Is there newsletter tradition in europe?

Addis:

there is theme and chapter. 

Isa: 

But we and South America too we both has a lot of events but we don’t spread the word. However people from europe and North america talk this loud. This is a culture thing too. Also I think we should 

Liang:

I tried interview with josh, and it’s postponed. However I found new people to interview.

Addis:

That’s the concerns that I mentioned with Reke Liang. We should change our edit direction from passive collect the events to pro-actively gather thematic or 

Liang:

Borrow a section to have skype interview, so then it could be a piece.

Addis:

WMTW is looking for hiring media major student to interview or do the edits.

Isa:

Maybe we can find some interns in our chapter to do it.

Addis:

Yes, it’s a good thing. But the grant might need to be in the end of the year.

Taweetham&Isa:

Make the newsletter as a sharing space

Addis:

Reke just told me maybe Wikipedia Taiwan hire a intern to write content for you?

Isa:

Good idea, communication student. We can get 

Taweetham:

How many people read this newsletter?

Addis:

I will say at least 200

Taweetham:

We should really reuse the content

Addis:

Right now we are still prototyping, if we can have high quality stuff.

Liang:

Interview might have personal story

Reke:

What do you want to read?

Addis:

…Any thoughts?

Taweetham: 

Sounds like Ethos story, cat bell story. if taiwan hire people, then no body will volunteer. We can have simply copy story. Wikimania, WMCON… say 3 months?

Addis:

I will say bi monthly.

Isa:

But can WMTW supervise?

Liang:

Yes, and actually Reke has already produce monthly newsletter for a consecutive 

Taweetham/Biyanto:

We should set up a ESEA or Asian calendar.

Isa:

Hopefully before September.

Pre-event of the WAM

Only the new users can join the event. WP adventure need to achieved or 50 edits. if participants accomplish the goals, we can send then a lot of past postcards, and Wikimania souvenirs.

Biyanto:

We can also send 

Taweetham:

Translation need to enable the guided tour by the WMF part. Once you are done, the administrator need to put this in the local page with .js and don’t break the code.

Addis:

We can ask Jake Orlowitz help to complete the whole process. However, if it’s not successful, we can have 50 edits as a back up way.

Addis / Taweetham:

Local organizers can host offline training sessions / event. Decided by local Wikipedia.

Local regional conference

Host in Indonesia idea last year. Maybe this year in Taiwan?

Taweetham:

Worry about the host chapter’s burnout. Maybe we can hire someone to do it?

Addis:

Have the regional meet up in 2018.

Reke:

We hope to have share work load. 

Political concerns: 

Thailand and Singapore is risky. 

Conclusion

2018 WMID or WMTW, bring back to the board. Before Wikimania
