[14:51:32] halfak: BTW i was in the docs call yesterday, but left after 15min or so because i was the only one (hadn't seen your note about coming late) [14:52:03] Ahh gotcha. Oh well :) [14:52:32] (the Signpost's publication deadline got moved anyway though, so there's still more time for the research newsletter issue ;) [14:53:25] I didn't see something I was super excited about reviewing this time. Most likely I can find something on Sunday morning CDT. Is that too late? [14:54:09] that's fine, it's set for wednesday now (updated the information at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WRN201704 ) [14:55:49] Cool [15:16:28] 10Quarry, 10Cloud-Services: Consider moving Quarry to be an installation of Redash - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169452#3415749 (10Halfak) My main concern with this kind of move would be preserving the basic functionality of Quarry in redash. E.g. permalinks to results, recent queries, user queries, pu... [18:32:42] Hi halfak [18:37:13] It's Bowen [18:37:48] Hi James! [18:44:24] o/ [18:45:21] Hey! So I was talking to Bowen about kicking off this wikiproject recommendation project. [18:47:33] And it seems like we'll need buy in from people who do organizational work around WikiProjects. [18:48:27] Gist is that Bowen wants to test out some strategies for matching newcomers and experienced editors to projects and then give lists of likely new project members to organizers for them to invite. [18:48:42] Bowen, do you have a link to your writeup handy? [18:49:18] Yep [18:49:19] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:WikiProject_Recommendation [18:50:20] Question for you Bowen: what if the recruitment mechanisms are successful but end up failing because the wikiprojects they are recruited to are garbage? [18:50:21] We were thinking to recruit 2 or 3 project organizers from top maybe top 20 most active projects in the past year. [18:51:25] Yes, we want to start from the active and relatively well established projects where recruited editors can be better socialized and guided. [18:51:45] For instance, those most active projects in the past year. [18:52:34] How many of the top Wikiprojects have socialization materials/programs already in place? [18:53:48] That I don't know. [18:54:28] I can look into those projects and see their police or guidance pages maybe. [18:57:33] Woo! the Keilana Effect paper got formally accepted! [18:57:35] \o/ [18:57:53] Now to get it cleaned up for photo-ready and update the wiki version :D [19:04:54] I see the meta-page has been marked as complete research project ;) [19:05:52] The quality metrics will be very helpful for Wikipedia future studies. [19:06:05] Bowen, yeah! O [19:06:10] I'm stoked about that [19:10:09] Bowen: I am biased but I think Women in Red and Medicine are good WikiProjects to test for, since they are actively interested in socializing new members [19:12:03] Nice. Bowen +1 to including projects who would likely want to experiment. [19:12:12] Even if they are not in your top 20 [19:12:33] Maybe you could even run a pilot with those two. That will likely lead to increased interest. [19:13:50] Sure! Women in Red actually is the most active project in the 12 months. [19:14:49] Some editors also talked to me and mentioned that editors in Women in Red will be very interested in our study! [19:15:52] Medicine is the 5th active project [19:18:05] Some other active projects include Military history, Africa, football, video games, films, Stolpersteine, England, etc [19:18:58] See the query result from here: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/20096 [23:23:31] Hi halfak, I have a question want to confirm with you. I am thinking to use the latest dump data to compute experienced editors (active editors who made 100+ edits in Wikipedia) for recommendation due to the data size. Quarry may not able to work well on that level of dataset. Do you think it a fine plan?
