Grants:APG/Proposals/2013-2014 round1/Wikimedia UK/Progress report form/Q3



Purpose of the report

edit

This form is for organizations receiving Annual Plan Grants to report on their results to date. For progress reports, the time period for this report will the first 6 months of each grant (e.g. 1 January - 30 June of the current year). For impact reports, the time period for this report will be the full 12 months of this grant, including the period already reported on in the progress report (e.g. 1 January - 31 December of the current year). This form includes four sections, addressing global metrics, program stories, financial information, and compliance. Please contact APG/FDC staff if you have questions about this form, or concerns submitting it by the deadline. After submitting the form, organizations will also meet with APG staff to discuss their progress.

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.

Telling your program stories - all programs

edit

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:

  • There were no changes to the budget or plan in Q3.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Wikimania took place in August! With 2,014 attendees and more 10,000 people visiting the exhibition area containing the community village it was a busy period. On top of that, there was a host of meetups and fringe events around the core of Wikimania itself to facilitate focused working groups (such as Education fringe event in June 2014, which was picked up at Wikimania, and then followed through at EduWiki 2014 in October). The charity employed four people specifically to help deliver Wikimania, and saw 180 people volunteering at Wikimania for a total exceeding 4,500 hours. More than 100 positive media items were published about Wikimedia, and more than 20,000 tweets were made about the conference. Community Village, organisation of which was supported by Wikimedia UK, was in a sense a heart of the conference, and allowed many projects and chapters to connect with a very wide audience. The report is available on the UK wiki and contains much more detail.
  • This year the UK took part in Wiki Loves Monuments for the second time. Altogether 525 people entered photographs into the UK branch of the competition, with 7,300 images uploaded in September. As of writing, 10% of images are used in the mainspace of Wikimedia projects and more than 250 have been recognised through the Quality Image process.

WIKI-FOCUS:

  • Commons: In Q3 the majority of uploads to Wikimedia Commons which were supported by Wikimedia UK were related to Wiki Loves Monuments 2014. 7,300 images were uploaded by 525 people; 7 have been recognised through the Featured Picture process, 4 Valued Images, and more than 270 Quality Images (some of which were promoted in Q4). The Photographing UK cathedrals project grant which was approved in Q2 continued to have an impact on our metrics in Q3 with the promotion of 11 Featured Pictures.
  • cy.wp: 2,000 new articles created, each with an image: English language books based on Wales, since 1996
  • en.wp: We ran 17 editathons or editor training events in Q3 with a focus on the English Wikipedia. As well as this, a university course at University College London led to the addition to Wikipedia of 1.5 million bytes of information. Wikimedia UK sponsored prizes for the Stub Contest of en.wp which resulted in 362 stub articles being expanded and the addition of at least 148,500 bytes of information.
  • Wikidata: Wikimedia UK organised a training workshop on 11 October 2014 to offer volunteers an opportunity to deepen the understanding of Wikidata and develop practical skills in relation to its possibilities. It is a part of an effort to widen the skills of our community.

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 participants reached through workshops)?

  • 18 editing and training events held (including five Wiki Wednesdays)
  • 9,172 files uploaded with a Creative Commons licence
  • 5,802,530 bytes of information added to the article space
  • Featured Pictures increased by 24
  • Quality Images increased by 262
  • Valued Images increased by 4
  • 150 people attended editing and training events in Q3
  • 362 stub articles expanded to a different class on en.wp as part of the Stub Contest

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

Table 3 Please report all spending in the currency of your grant unless US$ is requested.

(The "budgeted" amount is the total planned for the year as submitted in your proposal form or your revised plan, and the "cumulative" column refers to the total spent to date this year. The "percentage spent to date" is the ratio of the cumulative amount spent over the budgeted amount.)
Expense Currency Budgeted Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Cumulative Budgeted ($US)* Cumulative ($US)* Percentage spent to date Explanation of variances from plan
Community GBP 247476 63339 135378 119878 318595 410860 528931 129% Wikimedia UK is absorbing a proportion of the costs for Wikimania - this includes salary for some UK-based staff and also any expenditure where a UK office or UK credit history are required. This accounts, in part, for the much higher Q2 and Q3 spends. The rest can be attributed to the 'Wikimania Fringe' events which were paid for by Wikimedia UK.
Promoting Free Knowledge GBP 251892 36850 34465 80820 152135 418191 252575 60% Less staff time has been available - due to Wikimania - to run our major projects (such as Wikimedians in Residence). This in turn has led to less expenditure on these major projects. However, in Q3 we launched several new projects, which we have gone into in depth below.
External Relations GBP 64624 24667 14709 17320 56696 107289 94127 80% No major variance.

Terminology

edit

The text below is copied from wmuk:WMUK activities and volunteers. It defines terms used in the following report.

Extended content

The charity and its activities

edit

WMUK activity

A WMUK activity is an activity or event that is arranged by, carried out, hosted or run in conjunction with WMUK, or which WMUK has significantly sponsored or paid for. To count as a WMUK activity, the charity or its volunteers, staff or trustees must have taken some leading role: merely attending is not enough.

The charity does not claim as a WMUK activity external events or activities that fall outside the above definition, even if WMUK staff, trustees or volunteers attend or are involved in a non-leading capacity. That is the case regardless of whether the individuals attend or are involved on behalf of WMUK.

Examples:

  • UK Wikimeets are mostly not WMUK activities, as they are not arranged by, carried out, hosted or run in conjunction with the charity, and the charity does not sponsor or pay for them. That is so even though some, many or even all of the attendees may be WMUK volunteers.
  • An OpenStreetMap conference (run independently of WMUK) does not count as a WMUK activity merely because the charity pays for a volunteer to attend, or merely because it sends a staff member.
  • The Wiki Loves Monuments contest 2013 in the UK was a WMUK event as WMUK volunteers were closely involved in running it, with staff support, and the charity sponsored the prizes.

Tracking of volunteer activity

edit

Activity units

Rather than tracking the raw number of activities that the charity and its volunteers get involved with, without regard for their size, we instead focus on a measure of personal engagement that we call an activity unit. An activity unit is defined as one person attending one event. So, a score of 5 units may represent one person attending five separate events, or five people attending one event. For this purpose, no distinction is made between people who lead or help to lead an event, and those who simply attend.

If the event is a WMUK activity, then all attendees contribute one activity unit to the overall count.

If the event is a non-WMUK activity, we count only the activity units contributed by volunteer attendees who are working with us in some way for that activity.

Activity units at advocacy events are given a 0.1 weighting.

As we are primarily interested in external volunteer engagement here, we exclude the activities of WMUK staff or trustees when they are acting in their professional capacities. However, the following are not in themselves reasons to exclude from our activity counts:

  • The contributor has a grant, scholarship, or is claiming expenses from WMUK or any other organization for the activity
  • The contributor is being paid to contribute by some other organisation (eg as an employee)
  • The contributor is a staff member or trustee of WMUK, provided that they are contributing on a voluntary basis outside the scope of their professional duties.

Examples:

  • A WMUK GLAM editathon that attracts 10 editors is jointly run by one WMUK staff member, one GLAM staff member, and a volunteer. That is recorded as 12 activity units (all those who are involved apart from the WMUK staff member each contribute one activity unit).
  • WMUK pays the expenses of one volunteer to attend an externally-run open knowledge event. That is recorded as one activity unit.
  • Two WMUK trustees help to organize the Wiki Loves Monuments contest, with support from three staff members. 500 people submit entries. That is recorded as 502 activity units (the staff support is not counted as it was contributed by staff acting in their professional capacities. The trustee activity is counted, as the trustees were acting not in their professional capacities but as volunteers).

Leading activity units

A leading activity unit is defined as one person taking a leading role in one event. That may include running or helping to run the event, or being one of the lead organisers of an online activity.

Leading activity units are recorded as a subset of activity units, so a person taking a leading role is counted as contributing both one activity unit and one leading activity unit.

Examples:

  • A WMUK GLAM editathon that attracts 10 attendees is jointly run by one WMUK staff member, one GLAM staff member, and a volunteer. That is recorded as two leading activity units (all those who take a leading role apart from the WMUK staff member each contribute one leading activity unit).
  • Two WMUK trustees help to organize the Wiki Loves Monuments contest, with support from three staff members. 500 people submit entries. That is recorded as two leading activity units (the staff support is not counted as it was contributed by staff acting in their professional capacities. The lead trustee activity is counted, as the trustee were acting not in their professional capacities but as volunteers).

WMUK volunteers

A WMUK volunteer is a person who has, at least once during the preceding 12 month period:

  • Contributed at least one activity unit, and
  • Has provided us with contact details, including at least an email address, to allow us to record them as a unique individual on our database.

Examples:

  • A WMUK GLAM editathon that attracts 10 attendees is jointly run by one WMUK staff member, one GLAM staff member, and a volunteer. All involved (apart from the WMUK staff member) are asked for contact details, and those who supply them are included in the WMUK volunteer count for one year after the date of the editathon. People who attend but who decline to provide contact details are counted as contributing one activity unit but are not counted as WMUK volunteers.

WMUK leading volunteers

A WMUK leading volunteer is a person who has, at least once during the preceding 12 month period:

  • Contributed at least one leading activity unit, and
  • Has provided us with contact details, including at least an email address, to allow us to record them as a unique individual on our database.

We are here measuring quantity not quality of educational text content. We ignore all edits where content has been deleted overall, on the basis that deletions cannot generally be equated with the negative addition of content by that editor. We are aware that such an approach is relatively broad-brush, and will actively seek improved tools/measures in this area.

G1.1 The quantity of open knowledge continues to increase Number of uploads Report only 37,715 images (650.7GB) to Commons this quarter 21,036 images (946.1GB) to Commons this quarter 9,172 images to Commons this quarter By far the biggest contributing factor to Q3's upload statistics is Wiki Loves Monuments 2014. Some 7,300 images of the UK's protected historic sites were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
TEXT - Sum of positive edit size [1] Report only 4,382,374 bytes this quarter 1,790,824 bytes this quarter 5,802,530 bytes this quarter Q3 saw a course take place at University College London in which 139 students were asked to edit a stub article on Wikipedia. This resulted in 1,532,590 bytes of information being added. A second course with Students 4 Best Evidence took place in September; the 10-person course resulted in the addition of 3,230 bytes of text.

The creation of 2,042 new articles on the Welsh Wicipedia this quarter resulted in the addition of 3,134,634 bytes of information. It should be noted that this does not take into account information added to existing articles on the Welsh Wicipedia as we are not yet able to measure that increase. However, when it comes to the impact report it will be easier to report on and the figure will be higher.

The Stub Contest took place throughout September 2014, with prizes sponsored by Wikimedia UK. The aim was to improve stub articles so they were at least 1,500 characters long in terms of readable prose. We do not currently have access to a tool which takes a list of articles and compares the change in size between revisions of two specified dates. We can however provide a lower-bound estimate of the amount of information added as points were awarded depending on how much text was added. As a rough guide, a minimum of 148,500 bytes of information were added. In total, 362 stub articles were expanded.

For the editathons and training sessions that we have organised this quarter, the participants added 983,576 of bytes of information.

G1.2 The quality of open knowledge continues to improve Percentage of WMUK-related files (e.g. images) in mainspace use on a Wikimedia project (excluding Commons) 13% 6.5% this quarter[1] 3.1% this quarter Uncertain, see narrative CatScan 2.0 is currently being replaced by CatScan 3.0. As of writing, extended information such as file usage across Wikimedia sites is not available. However, as a rough guide of the 7,300 images uploaded to the UK branch of Wiki Loves Monuments 10.1% are currently in use in the main namespace of a Wikimedia site[2]

National Library of Scotland's work with Wikimedian in Residence also achieves encouraging usage results (see here). The work of the resident is an important element of increasing file usage - she can promote the collection to the community and internally within the Library, highlighting the relevant media. Additionally, once more material is released onto Commons, an appropriate collection will be identified to feature as part of an edit-a-thon intended to insert images in relevant Wikipedia articles and improve the content of those articles. This focused activity is an effective way of improving image usage.

Cancer Research UK Wikimedian in Residence project should be highlighted here. As at November 6, CRUK images were used 198 times in the English Wikipedia, and 8 times in 6 other language versions. Altogether 181 (43%) of the now 419 images ([1]) released were being used, an exceptionally high figure after such a short time (or after any period for a large donation). In addition the images have started being re-used elsewhere. Analysing the monthly views from August to October of the articles containing the CRUK images, 390 diagrams released from CancerHelp had total monthly page views of 1,410,218 in September, and 1,430,348 in October. They received 1.1 million page views in August, traditionally a month with quietest web traffic. The high image usage could be judged to be due to the important content gap that this material covers.

Number of files (e.g. images) that have featured status on a Wikimedia project (including Commons) 20 2 in year to date 8 in year to date 32 in year to date Eight Featured pictures on Commons have been a result of the the Photographing UK cathedrals project grant. Seven images which gained Featured status in Q3 were uploaded as part of Wiki Loves Monuments. Of the additional twelve images Featured on other Wikipedias but not Commons, ten gained Featured status in Q3 and all are the work of User:Diliff, again through the Photographing UK cathedrals project grant. This includes a set of six images of the interior of Wells Cathedral. Rather than taking this set to amount to one Featured picture, all six have been counted towards this particular metric.
Number of files having quality image status on Commons 70 53 in year to date 61 in year to date 328 in year to date The increase of 267 Quality images promoted in Q3 is due almost entirely to Wiki Loves Monuments (while contributed 266 Quality images as of 3 November 2014). This has been a great success, far beyond the expectations of the charity. Proportionally, this is an enormous increase from 2013. Last year's competition produced 72 Quality images, so 0.6% of photos entered into the UK branch of the competition were recognised as Quality images. For 2014 this rose to 3.6%. For context, 0.3% of all the images on Commons are Quality images.
Number of files having valued image status on Commons 50 46 in year to date 51 in year to date 55 in year to date All four files were uploaded as part of Wiki Loves Monuments. Last year, WLM 2013 was the primary contributor to this metric in Q1. While the increase as not been nearly as pronounced as with Quality images, it is anticipated that there will be an increase in Q4.
Number of new articles started on a Wikimedia site (eg any of the encyclopedias), excluding Welsh Wicipedia 200 341 in year to date 437 in year to date 682 in year to date The course at University College London resulted in the creation of 155 new articles on the English-language Wikipedia, while Students 4 Best Evidence produced 4. A further 61 were created by people attending WMUK-run editing and training events. In addition, 25 were created on the English Wikipedia as a result of the Living Paths! project.
TEXT - Number of new articles started on Welsh Wicipedia inspired by WMUK 10,000 over the course of the project 2,182 in year to date (3,353 overall) 3,250 in year to date (4,428 overall) 6,293 in year to date (8,224 overall) This figure covers articles related to Living Paths! and those created about books in the English-language on the topic of Wales since 1996. The queries to arrive at this number (avoiding double counting) are here: 1, 2, 3
G1.3 We are perceived as the go-to organisation by UK GLAM, educational, and other organisations who need support or advice for the development of open knowledge. Sum of reputation ratings [2] of organisations that we are working in partnership with, or were working with no more than than two years ago 693 (5% increase) 497 708 1204 To date, we have partnered with 143 institutions. The considerable increase is due to contacts created at Wikimania, work of some Wikimedians in Residence who forge institutional links, and, to a degree, continually improved coverage of reporting.

A valuable project in this area is the the Yorkshire Network project. It's A unique Wikimedian in Residence activity, regional GLAMwiki project aiming to engage some of the 150 registered museums in the Yorkshire and Humber region through the Museums Development service based at York Museums Trust. It has started at the end of July 2014, and will continue for a year ([2]).

Awareness score in annual national survey of public opinion [12] n/a Not collected Not collected Not collected This is the same survey as in G3.2. The Board discussed the potential value of the survey of public attitudes set out by our strategic goals (but not yet implemented) in October 2014. The expense and utility of such a poll and the need to ensure it can be repeated annually to present good trend data has been questioned. The Board agreed that this must be done properly and with proper professional input, even if that means a further delay in getting these goals fully set up. We may need to do it next year in order to allow adequate planning time.
G2a.1 We have a thriving community of WMUK volunteers. Number of friends 420 176 833 925 Consistent rise thanks to Wikimania.
Number of volunteers [3] 250 187 360 719 Throughout this volunteering section, we saw the effect of Wikimania and bringing people in to build the conference together. Some volunteering data was gathered and consolidated after the event, so preparatory activities that took place in Q2 are now counted in Q3.
Number of leading volunteers [3a] 140 (30% increase) 54 104 271 A significant number of volunteers involved in Wikimania were people that took leading roles of organising particular aspects of the conference. We also counted volunteers who were involved in running the event in August in these statistics.
Number of activity units [4] 1200 (24% increase) 663 in year to date 1,470 in year to date 2,204 in year to date There were 330 activity units associated with attending events (including training sessions and editathons). A significant increase is due to the leading activity units over Wikimania.
Number of leading activity units [5] 145 (5% increase) 115 in year to date 418 in year to date 822 in year to date People coming to the office in the period leading to Wikimania, leading on areas of the conference, added significantly to this number. It shows what immense amount of work it was to deliver the event.
Leading volunteer [3a] drop out rate [7] <10% No data yet No data yet No data yet The drop-out rate is based on year-to-year figures, so cannot be determined until the end of the year.
G2a.2 WMUK volunteers are highly diverse. Proportion of activity units [4] attributable to women 20% 35% in year to date 41% in year to date 55% in year to date (basing on the data that is available).
Proportion of leading activity units [4] attributable to women 15% in year to date 19% in year to date 25% in year to date 30% We have attracted many lead female volunteers over Wikimania. Roberta Wedge is making an impact with the Gender Gap Project, building up a volunteer community.

Additionally, AdaCamp Berlin 2014 was a particular opportunity for Wikimedia UK to support UK female volunteers, allow them to run un-conference sessions and develop their skills as community leaders. For an account of the event from Roberta Wedge, Gender Gap Project lead, see here.

Activity units [4] in activities to encourage other diversity or minority engagement[3] 15 5 in year to date 9 in year to date 11 in year to date In Q3 Fabian Tompsett gave a talk on the topic of 'Open Knowledge and the Memorialisation of Slavery'. This was attended by 20 people, which means this is given a weighting of 2 activity units.
G2a.3 WMUK volunteers are skilled and capable. Activity units [4] in training sessions and editathons (total count, including people being trained) 575 (5% increase) 297 in this quarter 433 in this quarter 137 in this quarter A total of 18 editing and training events were held in Q3. The decrease in volume is related to the workload being focused on Wikimania, and August being traditionally a quiet month for events. With these factors in mind, the number of activity units is still positive. A significant proportion of the events are related to the Gender Gap project we have been running since September 2014.
Leading activity units [5] in training sessions and editathons (ie trainers only) 95 (6% increase) 104 in year to date 136 in year to date 156 in year to date These figures exclude staff activities, but these details are given in brackets as well. A total of 18 editing and training events were held in Q3. Eight of the available trained trainers have supported at least one event in Q3 (thirteen including staff), six of which have supported at least two events. In total, nine leading activity units have been delivered by trained trainers (thirteen including staff).
Annual survey capability score [6] (self-identified) To be decided Not collected Not collected Not collected The survey is currently being drafted, and the intention is to circulate in Q4.
G2b.1 We have effective and high quality governance and resource management processes, and are recognised for such within the Wikimedia movement and the UK charity sector. Progress on targets in the Hudson and Chapman governance reviews All targets that we agree with have been completed and independently reviewed. See narrative See narrative See narrative All the recommendations from the Hudson review have been implemented. Fourteen out of the fifteen recommendations of the subsequent Chapman review have been implemented, with the final one a work in progress. In Q3 a third external review was carried out to assess the charity's progress, with the findings due to be presented to the board at the December meeting.
Progress towards PQASSO 2 Complete all internal preparations for PQASSO 2 ready for external accreditation See narrative See narrative See narrative We organised a scoping meeting, where we started to look at assessment of the charity. This has led to initial identified work areas needing improvement - they will be picked up in the future. Two half-day sessions were planned for Q4 for a more detailed analysis. Delays in mentor training owing to CES, organisation developing PQASSO system, being taken over by National Council for Voluntary Organisations. ([3]). This will influence the overall timelines of the project.
Level of external recognition Narrative + eval score [16] Eval: 1.8 / 3 Eval: 1.8 / 3 Eval: 1.8 / 3 A scoping meeting has led to identified work areas to ensure full evidence base. Two half-day sessions planned for Q4. Delays in advanced mentor training owing to CES, organisation developing PQASSO system, being taken over by National Council for Voluntary Organisations.
G2b.2 We have a high level of openness and transparency, and are recognised for such within the Wikimedia movement and the UK charity sector. Transparency score [9] as measured by annual survey n/a Not collected Not collected Not collected The survey is currently being drafted, and the intention is to circulate in Q4.
Transparency compliance [10] as determined by Govcom against published transparency commitments Narrative Eval: 2/5 this quarter Eval: 4/5 this quarter Eval: 3/5 this quarter Admin problems this quarter have severely delayed publication of several sets of minutes, including those of the AGM and the September and October board meetings. This has resulted in those meetings not being as transparent as we intended in a timely manner.
G2b.3 We have high quality systems to measure our impact as an organisation. Progress towards full implementation of automated and manual tracking/measuring systems [8] Narrative + eval score [16] Eval: 55-60% achieved Eval: 60-65% achieved Eval: 65-70% achieved The main source of automated data is CiviCRM. Staff are regularly using the database to set up events so that people can register there rather than on a wiki page. The database is now set up to allow people to register themselves as volunteers in the same way people register for events, and this process will be tested in Q4. Processes for recording interactions with partner organisations have been drafted and are being implemented, though recording partnership interaction is still currently being done substantially after the interaction takes place.
G2b.4 We ensure a stable, sustainable and diverse funding stream. Number of separate donors 6000 (9% increase) 5266 in this quarter 5110 in this quarter 5022 in this quarter For this number to increase in Q4 the charity will undertake activities to solicit increases in both types of gifts - it will also increase at year end as CAF donor numbers not currently included in our database will be included
Funds received from sources other than WMF fundraiser or FDC £295000 (7% increase) £63,846 this quarter £58,991 this quarter £102,318.49 in this quarter Q3 donations were substantially increased by accounting for an in-kind gift to the chapter associated with the Institute of Directors annual conference
Proportion of funds from sources other than WMF fundraiser or FDC 47% 56% in this quarter 33% in this quarter 54% in this quarter This is higher than projected because of the large value of an in-kind gift
Proportion of funds from direct debits 45% 28% in this quarter 94% in this quarter 28% in this quarter Much like Q1 this is skewed because of the large income received from another funding source (in kind) this quarter
G3.1 Access to Wikimedia projects is increasingly available to all, irrespective of personal characteristics, background or situation. Total number of scans of QRpedia codes [11] 14000 monthly 17503/month this quarter 15112/month this quarter 20908/month this quarter The statistics are complete for Q2. A GLAM booklet has been produced and the use of QRcodes is given as an example of how museums might interact with Wikipedia and make content available in a variety of languages.
Projects addressed at new readers [16] being enabled to access Wikimedia websites 3 activities 1 in year to date 1 in year to date 1 in year to date In Q3 work began on planning the Science Museum Late, a high-profile event at the Science Museum. One of the sessions will involve recording Wikipedia articles, making them accessible to people with reading difficulties or visual impairments.
G3.2 There is increased awareness of the benefits of open knowledge. Awareness score [12] in annual national survey of public opinion n/a Not collected Not collected Not collected The Board discussed the potential value of the survey of public attitudes set out by our strategic goals (but not yet implemented) in October 2014. The expense and utility of such a poll and the need to ensure it can be repeated annually to present good trend data has been questioned. The Board agreed that this must be done properly and with proper professional input, even if that means a further delay in getting these goals fully set up. We may need to do it next year in order to allow adequate planning time.
G3.3 Legislative and institutional changes favour the release of open knowledge. Responses to EU and UK government policy consultations. Narrative See narrative See narrative See narrative We've published a position paper on copyright with the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group European Union (FKAGEU). We've met with the UK IPO head of copyright to learn about the new orphan works rules. We've signed the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development. We hosted an advocacy group meeting here the day after Wikimania, attended by about 12 people. We also helped the WEASEL on wheels advocacy roadshow at Wikimania. The relevant papers are linked from our Advocacy page here.
Involvement in EU and UK advocacy activities; Involvement in advocating legislative change within GLAM, Education, and other organisations Narrative + eval score [16] Eval: 4/5 Eval: 5/5 5/5 The EU advocacy involvement continues to be strong, this quarter via responses to the consultation papers (see above). We are putting a voice in the open knowledge debate, and so in the long run aiming to change the policy for better access to information. In the UK, we are arranging meetings with Alex Boyd of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee of the EU (which has some responsibility for copyright and intellectual property) and Claude Moraes MEP for Q4. Claude Moraes is head of a committee on civil liberty in the European Parliament, and we will be able to use these links in the future advocacy work.

The work of Wikimedians in Residence to influence the policies of their host organisations was successful this quarter. At Cancer Research UK, work on embedding of the release of media on open licenses is progressing very well, with a new model release form for non-paid models adopted. This incorporates a tick box to opt-in to allow release of images of them on open licenses. A decision as to whether to place CRUK’s online cancer information text copy under a Creative Commons BY-SA license is due to be made at a meeting on 18th November. Embedding new working practices to continue after the grant period (late 2014/early 2015) is developing, especially with statistics department and around releasing media – and possibly web copy - on open licenses. With this in place, we may be able to ensure sustainability of the project after the residency ends.

Ally Crockford from National Library of Scotland (WIR) met with new NLS Chief Executive and National Librarian John Scally to discuss Wikimedian in Residence projects and open access at the Library. These internal conversations regarding the releasing of digital content onto open licenses may result in a more open policy at the institution - we are able to be a part of the conversation at the time of the new Chief Executive thanks to having a WIR at the organisation.

In a project area that show how policy work can affect content, Pat Hadley at York Museums Trust encouraged YMT to be embracing a specifically open image policy. The institution will subsequently be releasing c.40,000 images under PD or CC-BY-SA licenses.

G4.1 There are robust and efficient tools readily available to enable the creation, curation and dissemination of open knowledge. Number and availability of the project tools we host or support Narrative See narrative See narrative See narrative Wikimedia UK hosts QRpedia and the Virtual Learning Environment. A scoping exercise was carried out to assess the role of technology within the charity on strategic and operational levels. Currently, the VLE has not been fully launched. The report notes: "The VLE project in particular has been a difficult process; communication has been under­effective due to lack of technical management." QRpedia continues to be maintained by the charity, and is in the same condition it was in Q1.

The report is worth reading for additional information on the tools the charity supports.

G4.2 There are robust and efficient tools readily available to allow WMUK - and related organisations - to support our own programmes and to enable us to effectively record impact measures. Uses [15] of the internal or supporting tools we host or support Narrative See narrative See narrative See narrative As in Q1 and Q2, the main tools are CiviCRM, piwik, and the Virtual Learning Environment. We use CiviCRM as often as possible when organising events to make reporting easier. There has been limited technical development on these tools in the quarter, so that state of the tools remains much the same; the VLE is however not yet fully launched. Delays in installing the SmartDebit module have hindered fundraising efforts.
G5.1 A thriving set of other Wikimedia communities Funding to support other chapters and Wikimedia groups £10000 £10,149 in year to date £10,443 in year to date £12,043 in year to date The additional spending in Q3 was primarily to support the governance conference for trustees arranging to coincide with Wikimania, with some costs used to support for formation of the Irish Wikimedia group and help them in their activities. The spending in this budget exceeds our plan. We originally planned one governance workshop (delivered in March 2014), however, it became apparent that Wikimania gave us the opportunity to increase our impact in this area - particularly since the first workshop was received very positively. The cost of the second governance workshop was less than that held in February as we did not need to subsidise travel costs as people were already travelling to London for Wikimania.
Activities held for or jointly with other chapters and Wikimedia groups 7 (including G5.2 and G5.3 events) 4 in year to date 6 in year to date 15 in year to date The core focus in this regard for Q3 was Wikimania. The community village was an exhibition area open to the public containing 37 stalls run by chapters and other open knowledge organisations. This area was visited by more than 10,000 members of the public. The international gathering of people from Wikimedia gave the opportunity for Wikimedia UK to run a board training workshop and a Train the Trainers session. On top of this, a plethora of meetups were hosted during Wikimania and the fringe. Wikimedia UK directly supported the WikiArabia meetup, the African Wikimedians meetups, the Celtic Languages meetup and Smaller Languages meetup, and the German language meetup. In all, this allowed the charity to far exceed its initial target in this area through the unrivalled opportunity of Wikimania. Late in October we also supported a Gàidhlig meetup.
Total shared activity units [13] in shared activities [14] with other chapters and Wikimedia groups 150 (including G5.2 and G5.3 events) 103 in year to date 125 in year to date 374 to date Wikimania London offered us an unmissable opportunity to create opportunities to collaborate with other chapters, and learn together. The meet ups and training events we organised brought an impressive number of people together. Additionally there were over 25 community village stalls, on average hosted by 2 people over the three main days of the conference.
Number of UK based Wikimedia events other than WMUK events Report only 15 this quarter 17 in this quarter 14 in this quarter These events consist of meetups (11 across 8 cities), two editathons, and OpenSym. Of the meetups, those at London and Oxford are held monthly. Of the rest, one took place in Scotland.
G5.2 An increased diversity of Wikimedia contributors Activities specifically directed to supporting the diversity of other chapters and Wikimedia groups 1 1 in year to date 1 in year to date 4 in year to date Some meetups organised by Wikimedia UK during Wikimania were set up to support movement's diversity (WikiArabia meetup, the African Wikimedians meetups, the Celtic Languages meetup and Smaller Languages meetup) and help the community focus on the particular diversity issues it values.

For AdaCamp Berlin 2014, Wikimedia UK organised a Friday evening networking event on the 10th October, where the attendees of the weekend camp could find out about each other's projects and start working together.

An international Train the Trainers session was in Q3 around Wikimania. This is mostly focused on raising the skills of the international community, but in the longer run can also support the diversity of the movement. The intention is that by helping other chapters train new editors and engage in outreach, we can reach more new female editors. Women are well represented in our editing and training events.

G5.3 Wikimedia communities are skilled and capable Activities specifically directed to help train or to share knowledge with other chapters and Wikimedia groups 1 1 in year to date 1 in year to date 3 in year to date Wikimania gave the charity an excellent opportunity to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between chapters. This allowed us to exceed our metric in this area. As a result in Q3 Wikimedia UK hosted an international Training the Trainers workshop, and a governance workshop for board members across the movement based on the model of the event held in February this year.

International edition of the Train the Trainers was well recieived by our international guests, to the extent that Wikimedia Netherlands considered running their own version of the course. However having discussed this with Wikimedia UK and our training providers, they decided to suggest that they would like to collaborate with us on a future course, as they feel they have a number of editors with good English language skills who could more readily gain accreditation by attending an English language course in the UK. This sharing of a successful programme is much welcomed by us.

We have also added to the community's learning by sharing our GLAM partnership booklet, and the Wikimedian in Residence program review booklet - both received with interest.

G5.4 Open knowledge communities with missions similar to our own are thriving. Number of shared activities [14] hosted with groups or organisations having similar goals to WMUK 5 0 in year to date 5 in year to date 7 in year to date The community village at Wikimania, beyond chapter representation, had stalls for the Open Coalition, Open Education Working Group/Open Knowledge/LinkedUp, Creative Commons, Europeana, ShouldWe, Internet Archive, YouMagazine, Wikifactory and ORCID.

Our Open Coalition Co-ordinator joined Open Knowledge in organising a stream at MozFest, held in October. It focused on community building and a blog post with further details can be found here. This was the first time Mozilla have included this theme in their festival, and it was a great recognition of the Coalition’s work to be invited. The track allowed us to bring community managers and organizers from across the open space together to work on a variety of sessions, including 2 ongoing initiative - the Community Building Handbook, built with staffers from Mozilla and OKF (and which now has a home on the web) and a community source-code wall built with collaborators from Sprout Fund Pittsburgh. As well as running 15 sessions over two days, we worked with researchers from the MIT Media Lab to develop a survey for all participants, in order to surface qualitative and quantitative responses. 70 participants completed the survey, of whom 60 indicated a desire to continue working on projects and initiatives they learnt about at the festival via mailing lists and working groups.

Writing of the handbook continues, and the current handbook can be seen here.

Q3 also saw planning for an event in January 2015 (Q4); led by the Open Coalition it would partner with Wikimedia UK, JISC, DEMOS and the London Knowledge Lab and consist of workshops and discussions around open policy in the UK - high level partners.

Total shared activity units [13] in shared activities [14] hosted with groups or organisations having similar goals to WMUK 40 0 in year to date 96 in year to date 164 in year to date Around 140 people attended the track on community building at MozFest as participants, which gives the advocacy event a weighting of 14 activity units.

Further, we had 9 open organisations represented on community village stalls during Wikimania. On average looked after by 2 people over three days of the conference, this gives 54 activity units.

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?

  • Our major accomplishment was to continue to deliver our programme in association with, and alongside Wikimania London. This was a big challenge for an organisation of our size but good pre-planning meant we were prepared. We are now experiencing the legacy of Wikimania in our programme work with an extended pool of volunteers and associated activities. A Final report will be available in December but the interim report demonstrates the success and impact.

Our programme activities continued to address the movement goals and our own strategic goals. Our prgramme is demonstrating a majority of 'greens', fewer 'yellows' and no 'reds. There are some areas, 'grey' where we are completely reconsidering how appropriate the targets are. Wikimania was obviously at the core of movement goals by bringing together the widest community gathering in history to learn and debate the issues we face. The legacy of Wikimania is already being demonstrated through access online to our recordings of all the workshops.

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

  • There were no major setbacks in the quarter.

There are some areas, however, that did not go fully to plan:

  • A scoping exercise was carried out to assess the role of technology within the charity on strategic and operational levels. Currently, the VLE has not been fully launched. The report notes: "The VLE project in particular has been a difficult process; communication has been under­effective due to lack of technical management.
  • Delays in installing the SmartDebit module have hindered fundraising efforts namely by not yet allowing us to offer donors the chance to increase their gift to the chapter should they wish. In addition this has hindered the change the change to offer members the choice to pay their fees annually.
  • At the October board meeting, the trustees discussed the potential value of the survey of public attitudes set out by our strategic goals (but not yet implemented). The expense and utility of such a poll and the need to ensure it can be repeated annually to present good trend data has been questioned. The Board agreed that this must be done properly and with proper professional input, even if that means a further delay in getting these goals fully set up. We may need to do it next year in order to allow adequate planning time.

What factors (organizational, environmental) enabled your success?

  • A key to our success this quarter was employing a dedicated team to do the bulk of the organisational work for Wikimania. This allowed the core staff to continue with main programme work whilst building coordinating it with Wikimania. This was enabled by having a shared plan of specifics regarding the detail and targets for Wikimania that staff shared and stuck to. Emergency planning meant that we were prepared for any challenges we might face.
  • We would also point to the support of our volunteer community and our colleagues in the Foundation who offered solutions not questions when problems arose.

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

  • Our recording database, CiviCRM , has remained stubbornly unwilling to operate at a level where we can rely on it for some core functions. One in particular is working on our donor database to automatically communicate with them and collect GiftAid. Another is the automatic renewal of memberships. This is making data collection more difficult, wasting staff time and not allowing access by volunteers for recording their activities. At core we have a gap in our central IT management, an issue addressed in our 2015-16 FDC application.
  • CES, the organisation that run a charity performance evaluation system PQASSO, was being merged with NCVO in our Q3-4. This meant that the training and support for PQASSO was put on hold, at a time where we were planning to start implementing the internal assessment at Wikimedia UK. We were informed that the scheme will be reinstated in 2015 - until then we will working on internal groundwork in the meantime. This does not affect programs directly, however, may put some delay on our PQASSO work in 2015.

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

  • In view of the emerging metrics we will need to re-evaluate our targets for 2015-16. We have generally been more successful than we had expected even after factoring in Wikimania’s inevitable bump.
  • We have put more resources into sorting out our CiviCRM technical issues and travel optimistically.
  • Our pause on appointing Wikimedians in Residence pending the results of the review (Q2) has led to three major appointments in a short period of time. This should be avoided in future as it involves a logjam of bureaucracy and the supporting community. This is a longer term but worth sharing.
