Open Metrics Summary
Open Metrics	Description	Target	Results	Comments	Methodology
Sujets à fort impact	Comme il s'agit de l'un de nos principaux objectifs, nous souhaitons savoir combien de participants continuent à s'engager et à contribuer aux activités relatives aux lacunes en matière de connaissances après l'événement, plus particulièrement sur les sujets en langue française. Nous espérons que les groupes de travail et le renforcement de la communauté favoriseront les contributions sur des sujets à fort impact. Après l'événement, notre objectif est de voir 80% des contributeurs s'intéresser et contribuer à ces sujets. Qu'ont-ils appris et comment peuvent-ils appliquer ce qu'ils ont appris ?	80	N/A	N/A	N/A
Participation	Nous analyserons plusieurs segments de cette métrique : les tranches d’âge représentées, la représentation géographique enregistrée, la diversité des contributeurs selon les projets Wikimedia, les affiliés francophones présents, les partenaires, les autorités locales. Les différentes listes d'inscription et de présence aideront à effectuer ces segmentation.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Mobilisation institutionnelle	Comme mentionné plus haut, nous voulons mobiliser les institutions (GLAM, universités, gouvernements, etc.) et les soutenir afin qu'elles puissent contribuer à la connaissance libre et aux projets Wikimedia, en particulier en ce qui concerne les projets francophones. Dans sa Stratégie 2030, le Mouvement Wikimédia vise à identifier des sujets à fort impact dans le but d'améliorer la couverture des sujets prioritaires, identifiés collectivement, qui ont un impact sur le monde et peuvent améliorer la vie des gens. Nous pensons que les institutions peuvent nous aider dans cette tâche. Après l'événement, nous aimerions savoir combien d'institutions présentes à la convention continuent à contribuer à Wikimedia. Comment notre convention les a influencées pour qu'elles continuent à travailler sur nos projets en français ?	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Compétence renforcée	Cette métrique vise à identifier les compétences des participants qui ont été développées durant la Wikiconvention, notamment par l’apprentissage entre pairs. Il s'agira aussi d'évaluer le niveau de satisfaction des participants quant au renforcement de leurs compétences. Nous ciblons au moins 75% des participants estimant avoir développé leurs compétences durant l'événement. Elle sera collecté via les déclarations des participants dans les formulaires d'évaluation.	75	N/A	N/A	N/A
Fossé des genres	Nous savons que seulement 18 % du contenu de tous les projets Wikimedia, y compris les biographies sur Wikipédia, portent sur des femmes. En outre, seuls 15 % des contributeurs de Wikimedia sont des femmes. Il existe évidemment, aussi, une sous-représentation des femmes dans les projets francophones de Wikimedia. Nous avons l'intention de mettre en œuvre des stratégies pour encourager la participation des femmes à la convention : communications, activités spéciales dédiées, panels, etc.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
