Change Details

From several discussions, there are several improvements that we could do to the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Office_hours | Research Office hours ]]: [ ] Provide different time-slots to be more inclusive with respect to people in all timezones (e.g. alternate between two different timezones from month to month). Currently, there is one fixed timeslot; we have received comments that this makes it very difficult for some people to join (e.g. Australia). [ ] Provide a summary of the discussion of each meeting "on-wiki" (e.g. as a subpage of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Office_hours ). Currently, there are only notes in the [[ https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Research-Analytics-Office-hours | etherpad ]], but this information is not easy to find are link to. [ ] Change the name to something more intuitive than "office hours"; for example "conversation". For example, [[ https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/TIQDK7GZLZYZP6KE2ULVK7L4REIKNND6/ | in a current thread in Wikimedia-l ]] someone raised the question what an office hour is. It might not be very clear what to expect during an office hour. One option is to use a name that makes this explicit (such as conversation). [ ] ... This is a non-exhaustive list, so feel free to add other use-cases.
