5.2: Contribution
Increase contribution Other Information:
2015 Goal: In 2015 Wikimedia has X active contributors participating in the project. Rationale: More active contributors will
be able to maintain and improve more content. Summary: Every active contributor started off by making a single edit. Whether
that edit consists of fixing a small typo, starting a new article, or simply experimenting with the project, what happens
after that first edit sets the tone for that person's experience with Wikimedia. There are some signals that in our more mature
projects, we are not as effective as we could be in helping new editors become active contributors. There are also signals
that more experienced editors and administrators are leaving due to stubborn behavior, let alone outright hostility. Respect,
civility, and good faith are critical to ensure a long and active life-cycle at Wikimedia. The Foundation may be able to reduce
community friction by communicating their strategic priorities, and by improving community tools and processes in order to
enable more constructive experiences. Measures: Measure: Total number of active contributors reaches X. Measure: X% of new
contributors become active contributors. Measure: X% of new contributors come from partnerships with public and private organizations,
including academic and government agencies
