Weekly updates

• Call with UW researchers:
  • They had interviewed members of specific small Wikipedias and found that disinformation risks were usually associated to the community-oriented categories of our taxonomy.
  • We will have another call in August to review findings from their pending interviews and discuss how to implement quantitative indicators for their qualitative findings to be integrated into the observatory (e.g., metrics of community governance).
