I added the summary of the tools survey report with link to blog post and full summaries on Meta and Wikimedia Commons.

@Lokal_Profil and I had a meeting with the Wikimedia Technical Engagement team / Tool Maintainers initiative on December 12. We exchanged plans and ideas.

Looks good to me! Thank you.

Apologies for my very late review! I think the page looks great. Thanks for the update :-)

I have finally added some modifications, reflecting the end of OpenRefine's Wikimedia Commons project grant and adding a log: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Software/OpenRefine

The survey has been closed and I'm now summarizing the results: T327777: Summary of survey results + publish results

Summary of the results in this document. I will publish this on Meta as well. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ygkUyWKkwkcG1iX7oXrPdtHo-NO7LAMOcs8bO6u0l1U/edit#

We had two meetings (November 30 and December 7). Wikimedia affiliates support the Content Partnerships Hub's proposal for a pilot year of tool support, and we are now working on a follow up trajectory to finance this pilot year.

I took the freedom to strike out the tools task. The survey was promoted last month, it has received a lot of input but is closed now. For now, I otherwise have no updates for this edition.

I'd also recommend you to get in touch with @Eugene233 who is planning a project that is very much aligned with the goals of this pilot. Eugene reached out to me via Telegram and I think it would be great if you are mutually up to date and aware of each other's work (if you weren't already).

I would also strongly recommend a conversation with the OpenRefine maintainers. Liaisons can be @Pintoch and also @Ainali who is on the project's board.

Agenda for this meeting:

• Introduction of context of this pilot in the Content Partnerships Hub by John Andersson
• Alternative financing proposal by Sandra Rientjes / WMNL
• Discussing approach based on these arguments
• Decision-making process / governance for tool selection and prioritization in the pilot year: e.g. advisory committee, its composition and role
• Next steps

Oops, this is a duplicate of T324540: Send out tools prioritization survey (content partnerships tools) 🙈

First proposed agenda for this meeting:

The meeting on November 23 has taken place. We had time for a short, 10 minute elevator pitch there and answered a few first questions.

We discussed that we can keep the survey open for a while. I do think it would be good to do a first analysis of results soonish though, so that results from this survey can feed into decisionmaking around prioritization of tools to work on in 2023.

The questions of this survey can be reviewed in a separate document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19IcwrUXn5JhO8o3fjTpivm_gGwAnlOLU8xUCyYmX8DQ/edit#

I've updated my affiliation a bit. I'm not working with OpenRefine anymore as of December 1, 2022 (although I will stay involved with the tool in general). I want to join these conversations with my WMSE / Content Partnerships Hub / Product Strategist hat on, but will of course be happy to liaise with the OpenRefine team.

I have now transferred the questions to an actual Google Form. This is the edit view: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DaFrhV327zSTrVXK1wT-u-owNw6CDLo-hgTV9Nf_XiM/edit

I added a short bit of info about the tool list, which is now online in the Hub portal.

We talked about this in an earlier Hub team meeting, and I gave it a bit of a push because (especially) in my work I need a good definition and scope for the software we want to support as part of the Hub's work.

We had this workshop last week, and looked in depth at the list of stakeholders collected at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lrlibg1nrPLLZ48Qp-O7fEzrBiNDFX7N4p7NmXKVE_M/edit#gid=0

@Lokal_Profil and @Alicia_Fagerving_WMSE I was wondering if you could take a quick look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Software/List_of_tools to see if it looks good to you? It's a selection of our longlist, the ones we currently prioritized highest (and being most relevant for content partnerships).

I have now also added a (subjective) 'top' list of tools as a subpage of the Hub portal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Software/List_of_tools

We want to discuss this pilot proposal at the Executive Directors' Group meeting of November 23, 2022.

@Sandra_Fauconnier_WMSE do you have any suggestions about how this indication of the deprecation flag being set might look in either location (the autocomplete and/or the card view)? It sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm suffering from a lack of imagination when thinking about how this could be made obvious to most users.

I'm very happy to see that there are some great additional comments (very thoughtful and very interesting ones) by @TheDJ and @TheresNoTime. Thank you. Would love to follow up and I indicated so on the talk page.

Unfortunately we were too late and didn't make the Wiki Indaba submission deadline :( but we can look into other ways to involve the African Wikimedian community in such a session.
