Learning
editProjects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
Even if it was difficult for us to complete the project well in time, we were more happy with the number of participants who attended our program. People were really happy to socialize and learn how to contribute free knowledge, as we speak the new editors have joined us to improve content on the public domain using Wikipedia tools
- What did not work so well?
We couldn't complete the project in a given time frame. We had several challenges that hindered us from completing the project well in time as explained in the discussion page of the grant application, we didn't have enough time to merge our work with this project so we decided to change the dates.
- What would you do differently next time?
We will try and improve on completing our work in a given time frame, we found ways which can help us do that by assigning different responsibilities to different organizers of the program.
