New community space for IdeaLab on Connect

Hi folks. If you're receiving this message, you've contributed to IdeaLab or an Inspire Campaign this year. Thanks for participating to develop ideas and review ones from other Wikimedians.

We are preparing some changes to IdeaLab and Inspire Campaigns. One of these changes is a new community space on Connect, where Wikimedians can find each other based on common activities or skills, and ask questions about the space. You are invited to join this community space for IdeaLab, especially if you would ever consider needing to find contributors with certain skills (like design or project management) or would like to offer your skills to others in our movement. To join, please proceed to Connect/IdeaLab and click on the "Add yourself" button on the right. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on Measuring Community Health

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.

If you're interested, consider joining the Inspire Campaign. I JethroBT (WMF) 17:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2021

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Your submission to the WikiArabia 2022 UAE

Thank you for the importance that you have given to our event, and thank you for your submission. I would like to ask you to fill this form too please.-- Reda Kerbouche (talk) 16:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Reda Kerbouche, Sure I'll submit the above form :) In the same form I'm wondering about the question under Section sans titre which is "Have you attended other international or regional Wikimedia events, such as Wikimedia Conference or Wikimania or WikiIndaba or WikiArabia?" Does this also include Wikimedia Hackathon (International) or its not included? Gopavasanth (talk) 16:24, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes you are right, you can put all the information that you have participated before. and an other thing, can you in the page of your submission, add the attended outcomes from the presentation?.--Reda Kerbouche (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Reda Kerbouche Sure I'll add the outcomes from the presentation shortly, Also in the above question - "Have you attended other international or regional Wikimedia events, such as Wikimedia Conference or Wikimania or WikiIndaba or WikiArabia?", it is a Yes/No type question, So I'm unsure what to opt as I've attended few local events and one International Wikimedia Hackathon (2019 at Prague). Gopavasanth (talk) 17:04, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Here you are free to write what you want. you can write with conférence that you have attended, or just a text saying "I have been in 10 Wikimedia conferences around the glob". this is as an example. if you have other questions please don't hesitate.--Reda Kerbouche (talk) 18:12, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Reda Kerbouche, Submitted above application and updated the attended outcomes in my submission :) Gopavasanth (talk) 06:24, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
