Highlights
Public Policy Initiative and Global Education Program
In September, the Public Policy Initiative wrapped up after 17 months. Collaboratively, the team created a final report for the Stanton Foundation (awaiting financial summary) and documented achievements, best practices and lessons learned. Other team activities included: Overall project documentation for Chapters Report; last PPI Regional Ambassador trainings throughout the United States; wrapping up the project research components and presenting results on-wiki, in papers and at the end of the month in a final presentation to the rest of the staff at one of the Wikimedia Foundation’s brown bag meetings. Additionally, we transitioned specific project activities to the new Global Education Team. With the end of the Public Policy Initiative, the contracts of three team members, Sage Ross, Amy Roth and Mishelle Gonzales, ended by convention. We thank them for their hard work and their commitment to our mission. Sage’s, Amy’s and Mishelle’s involvement in the Public Policy Initiative was key in linking Wikipedia peer production with higher education. We wish them all the very best for their future.
Also in September, the new Global Education Program team worked on preparing the first “Global Education Program Metrics and Activities Meeting” (October 25). This new monthly meeting is targeted at everybody (educators, students, Wikimedia chapters, individual volunteers) who is interested in outreach activities at educational institutions. The meeting aims at ensuring that best practices and lessons learned get shared across different countries. More information:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Education_Program_Metrics_and_Activities_Meeting
Ayush Khanna, who joined the Global Education Program team as a half-time contractor at the end of the month, will be in charge of providing quantitative data on our programmatic activities at universities around the globe.
The Global Education Program team also worked on preparing the start of a Wikipedia university initiative in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Supported by Sara Yap, Catalyst Project Associate for the Global Development team, the team embarked on developing a strategy for kicking-off a MENA Education Program in spring 2012.
Technology

Tech Highlights
Apart from progress regarding HTTPS and internationalization/localization (see general “Highlights” section above), September’s Tech highlights include:
- The deployment of our new mobile front-end, now the default mobile experience;
- The start of the deployment of MediaWiki 1.18 to Wikimedia sites;
- The completion of the Google Summer of Code project;
- Ongoing preparation for the upcoming coding events in the USA, the UK, India and online;
- A revamped, and now maintained, roadmap for Wikimedia engineering efforts.
Operations
- Tampa Data Center — Our new data center contractor in Tampa has finalized the installation of three new racks, which will be used for networking, application serving, caching and data storage. Two racks (72 servers) worth of application servers have also been installed. With each server having 12 CPU cores, this is almost doubling our existing application server capacity. To-date, we have deployed and added 58 (of the 72) new application servers to production capacity.
- Virginia Data Center — We completed replicating external storage (article texts) data to our new data center in Ashburn, for disaster recovery and usage by eqiad application servers in the future. Preparations are also being made to deploy bits.wikimedia.org in eqiad using Varnish 3.
- HTTPS — Protocol-relative URLs have been enabled on all sites. SSL termination servers have arrived and are in the process of being installed, to prepare for the full deployment of HTTPS to all wikis.
- Virtualization test cluster — All services except for DNS are up. The puppet repository has been released in a public repository. We’ve switched to using git/gerrit for our production puppet process. New instances have been tested building from scratch using puppet.
Features Engineering
- Internationalization and localization tools (i18n/l10n) — A list of initial Indic target languages was created to improve support in MediaWiki for India’s 28 official languages. The Babel extension was deployed. MediaWiki’s logging system was rewritten to better support internationalization, and the Narayam extension, which provides input methods, was improved and deployed to select Wikimedia wikis.
- Article creation and patrol — In response to a request by a majority of English Wikipedia community members to restrict new page creation to autoconfirmed users, discussions are underway to improve the article creation workflow and the user interface for new page patrolling as alternative strategies to cope with the new page creation backlog and reduce high-friction interactions with new users.
- UploadWizard — A number of bugs were fixed, notably related to the Wiki Loves Monuments campaign and the deployment of protocol-relative URLs to Wikimedia Commons. Work was also done on multi-file selection, AJAX uploading and custom licenses.
- ResourceLoader — The back-end for .js/.css page search suggestions was completed, and the Gadgets API overhauled. The gadget manager and the AJAX gadget editor are nearing completion: displaying, modifying, saving of gadgets and autocompletion in all form fields is now implemented.
Mobile
- Mobile Research — The team continued to work on the report on their field research in India and Brazil. Phone interviews in San Francisco, Chicago and Dallas were completed.
- MobileFrontend — MobileFrontend was deployed in September and is now the default Wikipedia mobile experience. We’ve reached out to our various communities to create custom main pages, and are rolling out new ways of viewing Wikimedia projects on mobile. We also migrated our old WAP gateway traffic to MobileFrontend, so that we can serve our users from one place.
Special projects
- 2011 Fundraiser — Increased logging was added to CentralNotice changes, including interfaces and filters to search and review them. The DonationInterface extension was abstracted and refactored in preparation for supporting a new potential payment processor, GlobalCollect. The team also fixed a number of bugs and added new features.
Platform Engineering
- MediaWiki 1.18 — Wikimedia engineers worked together relentlessly in September to ready MediaWiki 1.18 for deployment. They finalized the review of the code, and fixed all the issues they could find. The deployment to Wikimedia sites was split into several phases using the heterogeneous deployment system. Stages 1 and 2 were completed on select wikis without too much trouble. Deployment to all remaining Wikimedia sites is scheduled for October 4th, 2011.
- Code review management — Even though engineering and code review efforts were focused on MediaWiki 1.18 in September, the backlog of unreviewed commits in trunk still continued to decrease, which means we will be able to release MediaWiki 1.19 fairly rapidly, possibly as soon as December 2011.
- Wikimedia Report Card 2.0 — The process of statistics generation continued to be automated; summaries for all Wikimedia wikis were also created, using the India report card as a model.
- Summer of Code 2011 (GSoC) — All seven GSoC students passed. Most projects are in a good shape, even if not totally complete. Work now focuses on getting the students’ code reviewed and polished before it can be merged and used on production wikis.
Research
- The Research Committee (RCom) held its sixth meeting and addressed procedures for member turnover, new candidates for RCom, the scope and function of the RCom review process, a proposal for Wikimedians in residence in science/higher education, licensing requirements for WMF-supported projects and the preparation of a WMF data policy. [0]
- We continued to work on the Open Access initiative, led by Daniel Mietchen. We submitted a response to an EU consultation on Open Access on behalf of WMF. [1] Daniel Mietchen and Dario Taraborelli attended COASP ’11 [2] and worked with the Open Access publisher community on a strategy to increase the visibility of OA contents on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. We released a tool (the Wikipedia Cite-o-Meter) to measure citations and media used from scholarly journals across Wikimedia projects. [3]
- We announced the winner of the WikiViz challenge (co-organized by WikiSym and WMF): Jen Lowe, for her work titled “A Thousand Fibers Connect Us – Wikipedia’s Global Reach” [4]. The awarding ceremony took place at WikiSym 2011 in Mountain View, CA.
- We published the third issue of the Wikimedia Research Newsletter and presented the project at WikiSym. [5] We continued reviewing support requests from external research teams and testing solutions for open data hosting.

Community
- Department highlights
see general “Highlights” section above
Projects
- Reader Relations and Support
We responded to 39 requests for assistance from the community and the legal department during the month of September (on average spending around 60 minutes per request, though some are obviously much longer). In addition, Maggie has rolled out a trial of the “answers” system – a system designed for community members to ask questions that they haven’t been able to find answers to before. From this, we’ll be building out a knowledge bank of frequently asked questions about the Foundation, the communities, and hopefully developing a system that allows users to find the answers themselves in the future.
Philippe was primarily focused on supporting the Image Filter Referendum and data analysis from that. Philippe also supported Siko and Jon in the creation of their translations recruiting system and worked with them to be sure that the back end contact management system worked as designed and coordinated form creation with PeterG.
Christine began the process of transitioning to a data analysis project for Zack, and was on leave to support American Red Cross hurricane relief efforts.
- Data Competition
The data competition is over! 96 teams, 193 players and 1019 submissions later we have a winner. We are right now evaluating the models and we will announce the winners on October 15th.
- Editor Retention
Maryana and Steven are working on their first project as Community Organizers: running a second round of the template experiment performed by WSoR researchers Stuart Geiger and Aaron Halfaker. They will extend the experiment to all level one warnings delivered via the semi-automated editing tool Huggle, in order to see if changing the content of warning messages (which has remained static since user warnings were first created in 2006) has an impact on the users who receive them. They are also working with community members on exploring ways to extend these A/B testing methods to other areas, such as bots and help spaces.
Fundraising
- Fundraiser
The fundraising team has been working to integrate with a new payment provider that will allow us to accept many more currencies and local payment methods in different countries. We have been working to create a more global campaign to optimize our donations worldwide.
Weekly fundraising testing continued in September. The team put a lot of effort into designing, building, and testing several new donation form designs to streamline the donation process.
Messaging testing also continued in September. We had already discovered effective programmer, staff and founder messages, but this was our first effective editor appeal. For more details on specific tests, please see our updates on meta.
In September, we also held a focus group to learn more about our donors and why they support the Wikimedia Foundation. A report from this research will be posted in October.
- Fundraiser Translations
We made a big leap in translator recruitment for the fundraiser in September. We streamlined the translation coordination pages to make it easier for translators to find new work and focus on quality checking, and we built a signup form and process to easily add recruits to CRM for email campaigns. As a result, 850 new translators were recruited. We now have 1000 translators signed up and are tracking end to end recruitment-translation-quality control for over 50 languages.
- Major Gifts and Foundations
We attended a funders’ conference sponsored by the Indigo Trust and the Omidyar Network that focused on how to use technology to produce social impact in the developing world. We received a $15,000 grant from the Indigo Trust. Finally, submitted two new proposals for major foundation funding.

Department Updates
The HR team continues to make great strides, particularly in recruiting. Steph Thommen has agreed to a longer term contract. She will be heading up the recruiting effort, in coordination with the hiring managers, C-levels and other contract recruiters and agencies. So far she has been a tremendous help in coordinating and vetting candidates in a timely manner. Steph has a superb background in hiring, management and training, so we are lucky to have her with us. We are also welcoming Jeannie Mayall as a generalist to help us cover some of our areas of need. Jeanie has great experience in immigration, so she can help us keep our visa work on track. She’s also got awesome compliance chops, and is helping us with our ongoing HRiS deployment.
The All Hands (All Staff) meeting is right over the horizon, and we’ve been working hard to get it organized and ready for the team. Thanks to the admin team for their support, in particular Isa Munne and Laura James for travel help and assistance in finding venues and general organizing. We think the All Hands will be super; the emphasis is on our current progress and work towards our strategic goals, and practical work tools for all of us to be as efficient as we can.
When it comes to the All Hands this year, you can’t really say the words without thanking Melanie Brown! She has done a fantastic job of cat herding, coordinating, emailing and calling to make this event happen, and we owe her a big round of applause (and probably a cookie) for her efforts. Thanks Mel!!
