Thanks alot @awight I just did that, I just registered on the right zullip now

@2023 first start working on some of the mini tasks, do them and post them as a comment just like others have done theirs for now.
More information about how can record our contributions will be made known to us by the mentor's

Welcome @Maryam_Gbemisola
To get started, scroll to the top of this page and read the brief summary, there you will see that @awight already dropped some micro tasks for us.
Feel free to start working on any one , you will notice others have already started working on some ,don't get discouraged, the mentor's said the tasks are open to contribution from all.
Thanks

Welcome @Kachiiee
To get started scroll to the top and read the brief summary, you will see some micro tasks there, you can pick from the micro tasks and start working on anyone, also the micro tasks are open for contribution by everyone so don't feel discouraged seeing other submissions there already.

@awight and @Simulo here are the hypothesis and informed guesses I was able to extract from this article
Your feedbacks are highly appreciated. Thanks

Hello @Kaycee13 ,nice to have you here.
The mentor's will drop a general feedback on our submissions so just be patient with them

@Meghasharma16 I think you can also decide to work on the issues on the github too
Although the mentor's have not mentioned anything as regarding that

@awight , @Simulo
Here is my contribution to this task
I would love to get feedbacks regarding it, so I can improve on it. Thanks alot.

Hello everyone as regarding this task i would like to suggest that we submit our contributions as comments rather than editing the task description and adding it there. Those that are just joining might be confused trying to distinguish between the task question and the contribution answers

Welcome @samuelmayna.

Thanks

@Shaily066 I would suggest you share the task or problem that you need a solution to, for example you could work on the problem first, and state where you are stuck or confused and anyone of us can then know how to help.

Thank you for your answers, I would summarize my feedback here:

General concept: It helps to know what you want to find out and particularly, what your assumptions are. If you know your assumptions, you can put them to a test. We broadly wrote "The goal of the survey is to learn more about how this software is used" but that is pretty vague, maybe actually a question for a qualitative study. How do you think people translate? Can you learn something about translations from published research that informs your assumptions? With assumptions and questions about them you can focus your survey questions and the survey design.

Introduction: This is very important as it is what participants can use to see if they want to participate or not. Give the purpose of the survey but avoid merely repeating questions you are going to ask. Check if the language is clear. In this case, it might be tempting to use e.g. "qualitative" and "quantitative" here, but are reseracher jargon that might be unfamiliar to the participants.

Questions: Aim to make them both a) short and clear b) self-contained, so they can be understood without reading previous questions

Answers: As important as the questions you ask are the answers you allow…

Age: People might not like to give their age in years for various reasons, so age ranges are a good practice. The need to be unambigous: 20-30, 30-40 are ambigous – what do I check when I am 30? Better: 20-29, 30-39 or 21-30, 31-40

Gender: "How to Do Better with Gender on Surveys: A Guide for HCI Researchers" is my go-to resource (however, this does not mean that you need to take this route; some people might also opt for an open text field (in which case you need to think about how to analyse that) or not ask gender at all)

Nationality/Country: Important to keep in mind that the state controlling the territorry they are on might be different than the nation they see themselves belonging to.

Languages: Not easy, because it is unclear what skill level is meant. You could also set a definition like "good enough to write a Wikipedia article in that language" (which is not a perfect criterion, but at least something). If it is important to you, you could ask for their proficiency level. If that makes sense depends on your research interest (you can use more powerful analysis methods with rank-able items like a proficiency scale rather than a binary competent/not-competent scale, but it is more difficult to answer, so the question if it is worth it)

Reasons for translations, motivations etc.: To ask this you should have some good hypothesis of what you can to do with the data. As merely descriptive data of how participants are like they are not very informative (they depend on how people interpret them, how desireable the answers are etc.). They can be useful if you have an hypothesis like "people who are motivated by increasing coverage in their native language edit smaller wikipedias" (which would not be surprising, but can be tested)

Asking for frequencies: To better compare these, give some hints what you mean: "In the last month, how often did you…": Never/ 1-2 times/3-10 times/11-50 times/ more than 51 times (there are different scales you can use – look at some examples)

Welcome to everyone just joining.
If you are unsure of how to go about the tasks feel free to ask me, I am just a tag away.
The mentor's are really doing their best right now I feel we should help them by helping each other

@Simulo @awight
Here is the link to the survey I came up with for this task
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/r.d2e7710af5a20eefd93babda3f38929a

Thanks alot for the introduction @awight

Ok thanks for the update @Aklapper

@Simulo As regarding this task should I summarize the review in a google doc, or how do I send in the review

@awight I already went ahead to start the task and I'm done with it, I will share the link to the etherpad for review

@awight can I go ahead and start working on this project

Hello everyone my name is Success , I have 6 months of experience in user experience, I look forward to contributing as a user researcher in this project, @awight, please can you guide me on how to go about it
