Global metrics overview - all programs

edit

We are trying to understand the overall outcomes of the work being funded across our grantees' programs. Please use the table below to let us know how your programs contributed to the Global Metrics. We understand not all Global Metrics will be relevant for all programs, so feel free to put "0" where necessary. For each program include the following table and

  1. Next to each required metric, list the outcome achieved for all of your programs included in your proposal.
  2. Where necessary, explain the context behind your outcome.
  3. In addition to the Global Metrics as measures of success for your programs, there is another table format in which you may report on any OTHER relevant measures of your programs success

For more information and a sample, see Global Metrics.

Please tell the story of each of your programs included in your proposal. This is your chance to tell your story by using any additional metrics (beyond global metrics) that are relevant to your context, beyond the global metrics above. You should be reporting against the targets you set at the beginning of the year throughout the year. We have provided a template here below for you to report against your targets, but you are welcome to include this information in another way. Also, if you decided not to do a program that was included in your proposal or added a program not in the proposal, please explain this change. More resources for storytelling are at the end of this form. Here are some ways to tell your story.

  • We encourage you to share your successes and failures and what you are learning. Please also share why are these successes, failures, or learnings are important in your context. Reference learning patterns or other documentation.
  • Make clear connections between your offline activities and online results, as applicable. For example, explain how your education program activities is leading to quality content on Wikipedia.
  • We encourage you to tell your story in different ways by using videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, e.g.), compelling quotes, and by linking directly to work you produce. You may highlight outcomes, learning, or metrics this way.
  • We encourage you to continue using dashboards, progress bars, and scorecards that you have used to illustrate your progress in the past, and to report consistently over time.
  • You are welcome to use the table below to report on any metrics or measures relevant to your program. These may or may not include the global metrics you put in the overview section above. You can also share your progress in another way if you do not find a table like this useful.

Overview of this quarter

edit

The purpose of this section is to provide a brief overview of this report. Please use no more than 1-2 paragraphs to address the questions outlined below. You will have an opportunity to address these questions in detail elsewhere in this report.

CHANGES: Please describe how you changed your plans and budget based on the FDC allocation approved by the Board in December 2012, and your rationale for these changes. You can then use the changed plans and budget as the basis on which to report back on the first quarter.

  • We cut back on the Wikimania scholarships, as there were less applicants than calculated scholarships. There is a saving potential of approx. 5000 Euro which might be slightly decreased by the fact that Hongkong seems to be even more expensive than expected (initial hotel prices given by the organizers in Hongkong where way too low).
  • Spending for the library project will also be cut back by aprox. 2000 Euros (as there also is the book grant, together this should still provide enough literature resources for the community).
  • We also assess requests and ideas for international support intensively and might save some money on this end as well
  • The rest of the money will probably be deducted from the open Community Budget, as the total amount of this account provides the biggest scope for saving potential. However, we will carefully assess the other projects and accounts and whether they show further chances for synergies / savings (similar to the the development of the Wikimania project described above). Especially projects which involve travel costs are potential candidates for saving - the experience of the past years shows, that we usually plan them generously, as it is a great way to motivate volunteers and we don't want to put interested volunteers down, but the experience shows that quite often the budget didn't need to be exhausted.

HIGHLIGHTS: What were 1–2 important highlights of the past quarter? (These may include successes, challenges, lessons learned.)

  • WMAT successfully laid the foundation for the Austrian edition of the State Parliament phtography project (Landtagsprojekte): Learn more about it in our February report. Concerning the institutional partners we established promising networks with the State Parliaments administrations (which offer long-term relationships independet from political majorities) and on the community side we recruited and motivated volunteers for the project by offering a phtography workshop, which was specially designed for this purpose: Learn more about it in our March report.
  • WMAT received the Austrian Fundraising Certificate: For further information about it have a look at our February report.

WIKI-FOCUS: What Wikimedia projects was your entity focused on (e.g., Wiki Commons, French Wiktionary) this quarter?

  • Wikimedia Commons:
    • Learn more about the Photography Projects in our March report. In 2012 more than 12,000 photographs have been made with support of WMA's photo equipement and have been uploaded to WM Commons. The project is going on this year.
    • Learn more about the Photography Workshop in our March report.
    • Get detailed information about the Landtagsprojekt Niederösterreich in our February report.
  • German-language Wikipedia:
    • Writing competitions e. g. the Wiki Cup were supported by prizes from Wikimedia Austria for the participants in the first quarter.
    • The creation and maintenance of content was supported by the book grant and the library project of Wikimedia Austria.
    • Along with the upcoming photo competitions Wiki Loves Public Art and Wiki Loves Monuments the creation of lists of monuments and articles about them have been encouraged successfully. Some hundred articles were generated on these topics.

GROWTH: How did your entity grow over the past quarter vs. the previous quarter (e.g., Number of active editors reached/involved/added, number of articles created, number of events held, number of partipants reached through workshops)?

  • WMAT established an office in Vienna and hired staff in the end of 2012. The process of establishing the new infrastrutcure and work processes ist still ongoing. For detailed information about these processes have a look at our January-, February- and March-Reports.
  • Promising cooperations with governmental institutions were initiated:
    • Learn more about WMATs cooperation with the Office of the Federal Chancellor in our January report.
    • Get detailed information about the Landtagsprojekt Niederösterreich in our February report.
  • Open meetings with community members have been held in different cities and in the new office in Vienna and potential new users and members have beeen contacted during these events.

Financial summary

edit

The FDC requires information about how your entity received and spent money over the past year. The FDC distributes general funds, so your entity is not required to use funds exactly as outlined in the proposal. While line-item expenses will not be examined, the FDC and movement wants to understand why the entity spent money in the way it did. If variance in budgeted vs. actual is greater than 20%, please provide explanation in more detail. This helps the FDC understand the rationale behind any significant changes. Note that any changes from the Grant proposal, among other things, must be consistent with the WMF mission, must be for charitable purposes as defined in the grant agreement, must be reported to WMF, and must otherwise comply with the grant agreement. The WMF mission is "to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally."

Spending during this quarter

edit

Anticipated expenses in FDC proposal form have been revised after WMF board decision on funds dissemination.
Explanation: Our accounting in CiviCRM is handeled more detailed than the description of our programms/initiatives and our budget (which are documented in the application form). Many of the items in our Annual Plan are made up of several sub-accounts, which are listed with a budget of 0 Euro below, as the planing was conducted on a accumulated level. Now that we have a better understanding of the reporting demands due to FDC and the Austrian Fundraising Certificate, we plan to change that in context of the planning of our next budget in order to find an efficient design of accounts and budget, that makes reporting towards WMF and for the Austrian Fundraising Certificate easy without causing duplication of effort.

Progress toward this year's goals/objectives

edit

This section addresses the impact of the programs / initiatives* and objectives your entity has implemented over the past quarter and the progress your entity is making toward meeting this year's goals. We understand that some metrics may not be applicable in this quarterly report, so please add metrics here if they are applicable.

*In the last round, the FDC used the term 'initiative', but this round, we are using the term 'program.'

Program 1

edit
Community support
What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.
  • Expand and diversify the community of editors and volunteers
  • Community building
Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?
  • Community support can hardly be put into numbers, as we do not only focus on the quantity but also on the quality of the relationsships to our community. Nevertheless, the expansion and diversification of the community is also an ongoing process for us (board and staff).
Activities conducted.
  • Diversifying communication channels to community and interested public by improving and increasing our communication through social networks (e.g. facebook and twitter), the members' wiki, mailinglists and our webites.
  • Funding of 7 full scholarships for the participation of Austrian Wikimedians at the Wikimania 2013 in Hongkong (There were 10 scholarships available, but only 7 qualified applicants).
  • Public relations for WikiVoyage in order to promote the project in Austria (see also below: press coverage)
  • Book grant: WMAT supported several authors by providing necessary literature resources
  • Donate prizes as incentives for the Wiki Cup participants (WMAT chocolate for the first round). WMAT did this successfully last year and although we equally support all Wiki Cup participants, we were proud to see that an Austrian author won the contest
  • Photography workshop
  • Supporting the organization of the Amsterdam Hackathon with 1500 Euros and providing scholarships for Austrian community members (unfortunately the date coincided with school holidays, so that there were no applicants yet this year)
  • Assistance of wikipedians in organizing local meet-ups all over Austria, board members and staff are regualrly visiting these events, in order to inform about WMATs activities and to collect ideas and stimuli for our work from the community.
  • Organizing of photo-accreditations for our community-photographers and providing technical equipment(see also Program 2 - Free Content Generation).
What worked and what did not?
  • The handling of the scholarship-funding was supported by the Wikimania-team who provided the basic evaluation. The WMAT office could therefore spend more time on supporting the applicants with their travel plans (information and hints for their stay, organizing a meeting there etc.): http://mitglieder.wikimedia.at/Projekte/Wikimania_2013
  • Our general guidelines for community support work quite well. However, some adaptions concerning the guidelines for compensation of travel expenses became necessary, as there were some discussions regarding daily allowance and other details that were not entirely clear and / or controversial. Therefore the board carefully assessed and refined the guidelines in question.

Any additional details:

  • -


Program 2

edit
Free content generation
What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.
  • Increase content in the Wikimedia projects
  • Valorization of the volunteer's work and involvement
Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?
  • Until now our major free content generation programs for this year have not started but we are already in an early stage of arrangements for the successful start of these programs. Meetings are held weekly where we evaluate our progress so far and discuss upcoming difficulties.
Activities conducted.
  • Cooperation between Austrian national broadcasting and WikiTV: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters/Reports/Wikimedia_Oesterreich/February2013#WikiTV
  • Preparations towards "Wiki Loves Public Arts" photography project have been set (website, organizing and planning jury and prizes, preparing lists in de.WP, etc.). We managed to get data of public art in Vienna and in Linz. WLPA will bring many pictures of public art in Austria available under a free license to WM Commons during May 2013. See also http://wikilovespublicart.at (German)
  • Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 is the next upcoming event in which we are going to be strongly involved. At the end of April the Kick-off-event of WLM Austria 2013 will take place in Vienna. Some "Wiki Takes..."-excursions are prepared to areas, where pictures of monuments are missing.
  • Wikimedia Austria frequently provides its photographic equipment to community-photographers and organizes accreditations for the admission to the press area at larger events. In the first quarter of 2013 for example the award ceremonies of the Austrian cabaret prize, the Austrian film prize, an international football match and a popular German-language TV-show ("Wetten, dass...?") have been photographed with the support of WMAT.
  • Wikimedia Austria supported the scanning of old books at the library of the Federal Authority for the Monuments, which brought numerous historical pictures and drawings of monuments to WM Commons.
  • The Wiki Cup is supported by prizes from WMAT for the participants and brought some hundred articles about different topics to de.WP in the first quarter.
  • The QR-Code project in cooperation with the Botanical Garden of the University of Graz leads to 300 articles about plants in different languages, mainly in German and continued in the first quarter of 2013.
  • In the Austrian portal site at de.wikipedia 908 new articles focussing on Austrian topics have been registered in the first three months of 2013. Most of them were supported by the book grant and the library project of WMAT.
What worked and what did not?
  • Our cooperation with the officials of Vienna for getting the public arts list was very successful. Unfortunately not all Austrian federal states are listing their public art accurately, which makes it hard to get authorized lists for other Austrian places. We hope the Wiki Loves Public Art contest will help to raise awareness regarding art in public space, so that we will have more data next year.
  • Based upon our last years experiences with WLM we are on the way to participate at the international WLM contest this year again. WLM will establish contact to new photographers and writers for WM projects.
  • We were able to achieve photo-accreditations for some major events for the community-photographers, however not all event organizers are equally approachable. Often inquiries by the WMAT office as an "official entity" can be helpful.

Any additional details:


Program 3

edit
Resources
What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.
  • Obtain official Austrian fundraising quality seal
  • Generate € 25 000 funding for Wikimedia Österreich mission and activities
  • Extend the base of loyal donors
Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?
  • In February we reached one of our primary objectives in this program: WMAT successfully applied for the Austrian Fundraising Certificate, an important and generally accepted quality seal for fundraising organizations, which proves their economic and transparent use of donated money according to their proposed aims and following certain regulations.
  • Local donors frequently donate smaller amounts to Wikimedia Austria.
Activities conducted.
  • We put a lot of effort into the proceedings to reach the Austrian Fundraising Certificate, which was very important for us.
  • Establishing a process for regular donor communication in order to keep in contact with our loyal donors was also one of our responsibilities, which we took very seriously. We put a lot of effort into updating their data in CiviCRM and mailed them WLM-calendars in January. For new donors during the year, we designed special "Thank you" postcards to send them.
What worked and what did not?
  • The application for the Austrian Fundraising Certificate was successful, which makes us now an even more reliable fundraising organization.
  • We got some very good feedback on the WLM-calendars from some donors.
  • At the moment we are lacking time to put even more effort into fundraising activities and hope this will improve during the next months.

Any additional details:

  • For more information about our successful application for the Austrian Fundraising Certificate please have a look at our February report.


Program 4

edit
Organisation
What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.
  • Professional acting of the organization
  • Improve administrative task treatment
  • Meet reporting requirements of Wikimedia Foundation, certification body and other donors
Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?
  • The professionalising of Wikimedia Austria's organization is on a good way. The most important step in the first quarter of 2013 was the establishment of our office in Vienna, which will take responsibility for administrative tasks in the future.
  • The administrative task treatment has been improved by giving the major responsibility to the managing director and her staff instead of having the board in responsibility for all administrative issues. The definition and distribution of competencies and responsibilities between board and staff will be refined further in context of a strategic process during the next months.
  • As already stated above (see also Program 3 - Resources) we met the requirements for the application for the Austrian Fundraising Certificate already. To meet the reporting requirements of the Wikimedia Foundation we are working hard and intensive on our monthly, quarterly and annual reporting.
Activities conducted.
  • The new office in Vienna has been furnished and Wikimedia Austria's first employees, the Managing director Claudia Garad and the Intern Thomas Planinger are now working there.
  • In order to professionalise administrative tasks the Intern will become a full employee by May 2013.
What worked and what did not?
  • We are happy to state, that the organizational behaviour of Wikimedia Austria has reached a professional level by opening an office in Austria's capital city and hiring staff. Further efforts have to be made to assess possible challenges of good governance and to identify fields of action for our further development.
  • The increasing reporting requirements and other administrative tasks, that go along with the establishment of an office and hiring workforce, consume a lot of time, which cannot be invested in organization of projects. We are currently looking for ways to make these processes more efficient.

Lessons learned

edit

Lessons from this quarter

edit

A key objective of the funding is to enable the movement as a whole to understand how to achieve shared goals better and faster. An important way of doing this is to identify lessons learned from entities who receive funds, and to share these lessons across the movement. The purpose of this section is to elicit some of these insights, which will be shared throughout the movement. Please answer the following questions in 1–2 paragraphs each.

What were your major accomplishments in the past quarter, and how did you help to achieve movement goals?

  • WMAT put a lot of effort into the audits required to obtain the Austrian Fundraising Certificate. The Austrian Fundraising Certificate is an important signal for current and future donators which builds and strengthens their trust in our organization and contributes to a positive reputation of WMAT in particular and the Wikimedia/Wikipedia movement in general.

What were your major setbacks in the past quarter (e.g., programs that were not successful)?

  • The rising amount of administrative work (grant reporting etc.), especially in the first quarter of a year absorbes a lot of time of the staff and board that could otherwise be invested into projects.

What factors (organizational, environmental) enabled your success?

  • The first quarter profited from the fact that the board, committed volunteers and the new staff quickly found a constructive and effective mode of cooperation. Another positive development is the fast growing network to public adminstrations partners, GLAMs and like-minded organizations (e.g. Linux Community, Open Knowledge Foundation) that will have a positive impact on future projects.

What unanticipated challenges did you encounter and how did this affect what you were able to accomplish?

  • None

What changes might you make in executing your initiatives into the next quarter?

  • None
