The WMF Design team are collectively shifting to more contributor-focused projects, and would like to gain a broader and deeper understanding about the many different ways contributors use Wikipedia by participating directly in an "Edit party", similar to one conducted recently by @CKoerner_WMF for the Apps team offsite in Oct 2018.
Request for CRS support
It would be very valuable if @CKoerner_WMF (or pending available, another CRS person) could host a *remote* "Edit party" for the WMF Design team, around 2hrs duration. Ideally it would focus on:
- Getting started on editing - common tools/gadgets for finding content
- Editing tasks suited to mobile (as most attendees are focusing on mobile projects)
- Introduction to common/popular Editor UIs/tools (eg., Page history, Watchlists, edit review tools)
The goal is that based learnings from the Edit party, the team will afterwards be able to self-organize an Edit-a-thon focused on improving design articles on enwiki at a later date (likely All Hands)
Time frame
- Ideally a 2-hour session in early to mid November
- Remote-friendly for an EU/US timezone (@RHo can help with co-ordinating a time)
