Yesterday
My assessment of the files that were recommended for release from mtizzoni's home directory:
Fri, Jul 19
@Trizek-WMF thanks! I'll incorporate the translations and send the privacy policy over to be uploaded on the foundation wiki -- is there an account or individual who I can give credit to? For example, see the initial upload here for a related Arabic privacy policy: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B9%D9%86_%D9%82%D9%8F%D8%B1%D9%8E%D9%91%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7&action=history

In the task description, concerning "Obtaining translations for village pump conversations", what does it mean precisely? Do you need to get the translations of the message (included kin the request to translators) or do you need help to translate the replies? I may be lost in translations here. :)
@Trizek-WMF : yeah, we're looking for translations of the message included in the translation docs (The Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Wikimedia_Research|Research]] and ...) so that it can be posted in the editing community's language. for any replies, we might need support, but i suspect that Google Translate etc. will be good enough for getting the gist if the responses are in Norwegian / Arabic.
@elukey all good thanks -- there had been a hold-up while we were trying to figure out which files were the ones that were being proposed to release publicly, but that's been sorted out now so privacy review should move quickly on our side now. Thanks for checking in!

I will focus on the specific analyses after processing of data, debiasing, feature generation is completed
The users can also dismiss it via Prefer not to say and that will be stored locally in the browser so that they no longer see the survey.
You mean that it is the only option to dismiss it? Will it be displayed on every page until an action is taken? If so, could a "skip" button or a close icon be added?
Which Norwegian are you targeting? Bokmål, Nynorsk or both? I haven't identified the language from the existing translations.
Good question: Bokmål given that it's the larger community so better supports the sample size that we would need.

While this is still desired and we may move forward with it (specifically around language switching), it's being put on hold for the foreseeable future while other tasks are worked out.
Tue, Jul 9
Closing this task as I move to the analysis component (T212448). See the configuration subtask (T226273) for final count of responses from each language. See the meta talk page for more details on future survey rounds.
surveys finished deployment. description updated w/ final counts of survey responses for each language edition. note that these counts include responses under 18, which was between 10% (german) and 35% (hebrew) of all survey responses. respondents under 18 did not respond to other questions though, so they will not be included in any other analyses.
Wed, Jul 3
Project information is maintained on https://research.wikimedia.org/ as well in brief in the meta FAQs: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:FAQ#What_does_the_Wikimedia_Research_team_do?_Can_it_support_my_team%E2%80%99s_data_analysis_needs?

I updated the nutshell template at the top of the page that indicated it was a legacy page to the historical template to make it more clear that this page is obsolete.

Thanks @Aklapper -- I'll take this.
Closing this task as it served as the main task for the Outreachy Summer '19 applications.
Closing this task as it served primarily as a discussion space for the qualitative analysis component of the Outreachy application. Research now ongoing under T223765

@leila landing page now updated: https://research.wikimedia.org/
@nettrom_WMF thanks for the catch! that's my bad but I had your translation for it. I don't have the permissions but I passed along to Privacy so hopefully will be updated today with:
Just wanted to follow up w/ @Jdlrobson @ovasileva @phuedx @pmiazga @Edtadros (and anyone else I missed) to say thank you thank you for working on this!! Amongst others, we are currently running reader surveys in English and French (T212444) that are scoped to countries from Africa and getting thousands of responses, which is something we never would have been able to do without also getting literally hundreds of thousands of responses from the US, India, France, etc. that would be far more than we need.
Yep, thanks for reminder. patch in progress to remove that along the other things under the "Next Update" header: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/research/landing-page/+/518261/

Maybe it's time to introduce "NOT" selector to audiences, which we could have used to exclude the first enwiki survey from the African countries.
Yeah, I was thinking about that but was not certain whether our use-case (survey the world but upsample a certain region) is representative of how this functionality will be generally used. But also it could be useful for single surveys -- for instance, excluding France from French Wikipedia sampling already allows for much higher sampling of Africa.
Notes regarding deployment:
- It was determined that two surveys cannot have the same name (as was the case for both the English and French surveys) -- as a fix, we appended "-af" to the surveys that are targeted to African countries. Though for statistical purposes, this is nice, we had avoided it because it means that readers in African countries might see survey again after answering. Dismissing or answering it the second time will completely dismiss it though and this is not different from a reader who switches browsers or clears their cache (who also could see the survey multiple times even after answering).
- For the English survey, I realized during deployment that the survey link was to a slightly older version of the survey used in the pilot testing. I corrected the link and the survey was going to the correct place after approximately 20 minutes.
- For the Norwegian and Russian surveys, survey logic had accidentally been turned on that required a number as the answer for the survey-ID question (which is prefilled with a string of characters and numbers). This would have caused some frustration and potentially prevented readers from responding. It affected approximately 20 surveys for Russian and a smaller number for Norwegian but was quickly fixed.
@Shangkuanlc are you able to translate the message below and post it to your community (as you did for the previous survey: T168261#3363398)
@bmansurov Sounds good to me.
@bmansurov copying over what I said in IRC just in case:
Tue, Jun 25
During code review we discussed disabling the button, but because it would require more coding time and because that would complicate the codebase we decided to use an alert box instead. So the user will be alerted when sending an empty response.
Great, that's fine by me.
Translations are closed for this round of surveys. Depending on interest, we will add additional translations for another round of demographics surveys in the near future. See the description of T212444 for an up-to-date list of what languages are being included.
@bmansurov All of the configurations that are launching tomorrow have been uploaded as comments on this task. You can see an overview with each language and the link to the configuration in the description of this task as well: T212444
