Hello all. :) Were there notes from this call or is there a recording of the meeting to share? Thanks!

Does our group prefer the term 'committee' to 'task force'? 'Task force' sounds, to me, very American, and very militaristic. And, yet, I'm the one responsible for using it in this space. (See etherpad titles.) Sorry about that! Wanted to attempt to update it to something more clearly descriptive and accurate -- because it's much much more than 'support'. Hope that's ok by you all <3 .

Noting here the we had an etherpad meeting about this project today. Thanks to @dungodung @Base and @Esh77 for their very thoughtful and helpful feedback. <3

@Nuria Thanks for hearing me out. I do not know how easy it is to select on pageview_hourly, so I cannot answer that question. But, yes, the Outreach community would appreciate an easier way to count pageviews stats, please.

+1000 please make this happen!

Thanks, @Base, for looking into it. I don't understand what a WD client is, but I take your word for it that this just won't work for that reason. :(

Thanks so much for scheduling this, Shani. <3

Noting here that I posted a request at {T115047#1766759} from this task force to preview the campaign findings at the Collab's upcoming face-to-face meeting in Sweden and during that time to get feedback from members about the on-wiki presentation of the data.

First task force meeting happened today from 7-9PM UTC via Google Hangout. This hangout was not recorded.

Members of the WEP data collection campaign task force -- @Esh77 and @dungodung and @AKoval_WMF -- see T114069: WEP global data collection campaign committee -- would like to suggest a new topic for the meetup in Sweden: the Collab previews the results and findings of the global historical data collection campaign and provides feedback about the on-wiki presentation of the data.

Thanks for remembering this and us, @JohnLewis! I was just about to poke. ;)

I'm pleased that WMUA is localising another of the informational booklets. And I'm pleased that you are translating it. Your work on the Ukrainian Editing Wikipedia booklet was wonderful. (1) (2)

Thanks, Filip, for noting the time change. Forgot about that. It's not til November 1 in the U.S. Oy vey, this complicates things even more. Ah well, we'll schedule this somehow! :)

Dear Data Task Force,

This task is not complete and it can still be claimed.

@Base and @Jami-WikiEd, can you please give us an update on the status of Category:Wikipedia Education Program?

Շնորհակալություն @Lilitik22 jan and @DavidSaroyan jan. <3

Yay @Lilitik22 just joined. :) Citation here.

Awesome, @Shangkuanlc! Thanks @Base for marking the template for translation -- it was tricky!

Thanks @JohnLewis. We definitely don't want to delete archives! :) Glad I've got the terminology straight now.

I also find these steps a little confusingly written, tbh @RobH. But I do think I get the premise. Let's see if I understand this situation correctly. Our current list is a hybrid (half private, half public). A new list would be non-hybrid (all public). We'd migrate the archives from the original list to the new list, then kill the original list because it's been replaced by the non-hybrid new list. Sounds kind of crazy but it actually makes sense! It's just cleaner this way going forward. But if that's too confusing, there's always the fall back reason of: Because Ops said so! :D

Wow, you two are so wonderful. Thank you for offering your support on this high priority project. It means a lot to me. <3

Thanks, @greg. Much appreciated.

Welcome to @Josve05a. Thanks to @Vojtech.dostal. Just noting that @dungodung has experience convening international guests for EduWiki and could be good advisor to this task as well.

Thanks @Selsharbaty-WMF! :) Could you please share drafts using Phabricator's "Edit Pholio Mocks" feature? It would be good if we pilot that functionality.

Thanks for asking about this, @Base.

Thanks @Base for updating the task description. I was just about to do that. :) As per our conversation offline about this category seeming to be an artifact of the old portal structure. We agreed that it was a duplication of efforts and decided to eliminate it. Going forward, we'll just use Category:Wikipedia Education Program. Hooray for simplification! I just wish we'd decided this sooner! :]

\o/

Awesome, @Base! Thanks so much for completing this task.

Thanks, @Base, for subscribing to this task and moving these pages. I'm impressed that you noticed this and I really appreciate you jumping in to help. The highly complicated code is why I created this task in the first place: I couldn't fix it myself. It would be great if there were a community member, ideally an education collaborative member, who has the skills and interest to simplify the code while keeping the functionality. If you know of such a person, or if you are such a person, please let me know. I have created a new task for this topic here: [[T114593]].

@Shangkuanlc: I have wondered about this, too, for a while now, but didn't want to rush things, because not all Collab members are on Phabricator yet.

Adding @nethahussain with lots of WikiLove. <3

Merci, @Esh77. <3 This is a huge help to me. <3

Updating: @Paolaricaurte send a draft by email on 24 September. On 30 September, I linked her to this page on Outreach wiki, where the new translations should be added. She said she would do this upon returning from her travels next week. Yay, Paola. :)

Xie xie ni, @Shangkuanlc! :) And welcome to Phabricator. :) Be sure to join the education collab project here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/education-collab/ Floor and I will be discussing it with you in SF next week.

Yay, Filip! Yay, Liang! Sincerest thanks to you both. <3

A related conversation about this booklet took place on my Facebook page over the summer. Here is a link, for reference:

Thank you, @Kippelboy! This is a great start!

P.S. @Esh77 created another category-related Collab task. I'm pinging her here since these two tasks seem related.

@Jami-WikiEd: I just want to say: WOW! :)

Thanks so much, @Esh77, for creating this task. And thanks, @Aklapper, for triaging it, jargon notwithstanding! :)

It's working and it's awesome. :) Thanks very much, everyone. :)

@thcipriani, can you please approximate how long this might take? Thank you for your help. It is very much appreciated.

I agree with @MarcoAurelio: :(

Thanks, @Krenair. So, how do we get this wiki the DB tables that it requires? I'm in Europe now with @dungodung and he's asked me when they can expect to get this extension installed. The academic year in Serbia begins September 1 and they were hoping to be able to use it this term, but it's too late for that now. -- for the secondary schools, at least. There is, though, still time to get this done before the university course begin on October 1 -- that is, *if* someone in tech lets me know whom I need to lovingly but firmly nudge about this. :) Best, Anna

Thanks, @Jami-WikiEd <3

Thanks, @MarcoAurelio! :) I'd award another token, but apparently it's just one per person per task.

Yes, please go for it, per @Jorm. I've wanted WikiLove on Outreach for a long time, too. Thanks @Steinsplitter for requesting it. <3 I do hope that @Jdforrester-WMF is wrong and that wiki love is not on its way out. :( Long live WikiLove! <3

Hey Tyler. Happy to meet you virtually. Adding you as a CC to this task since you were so helpful with the last request for this same thing. See: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105853. Hope you can help with this, or point me to someone else who can. This community is eager to use this extension. Hvala! ...That's thanks in Serbian... :)

That's awesome, @Adishaporwal. Thanks so much for offering to help! Pinging @AndyRussG and @awight and @FloorKoudijs.
