Research:WikiWomen's Collaborative/Phase 2

This was a planning page for phase two of the WikiWomen's Collaborative project. See the final report for outcomes of this phase and the project as a whole.

Goals & activities

While phase one focused primarily on launching the social spaces, building community interest and experimenting with content, phase two will focus on increasing the participation of women who are new to editing Wikipedia and related projects.

Increase the participation of women who are not yet editing Wikipedia.

Continue to experiment with calls to action that focus on women directly editing
Share help tools and how-to's
Host two interactive online events. Perhaps "Ask a WikiWoman" and an interview with Sue?

Develop the project into a model sustainable by the community.

Develop systems that enable volunteers to continue to maintain WWC after Sarah's fellowship is over
Experiment with incentives for volunteer participation
Develop WikiWomen's Collaborative space on meta to be a "one stop shop" for women to find materials and get involved

Build contact list of international WikiWomen to engage with

Improve social media collaboration between WikiWomen's Collab and WMF Communications

Work with WMF to promote WWC and tag us in posts and tweets
