Learning

edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

We intended to reach more new volunteers and it was a success we have learnt on better ways to reach new volunteers. We also increased number of participation of existing editors which led to a high contribution in the number of articles.

  • What did not work so well?

There were lots of new editors that wanted to participate but due to limited time and resource the were not able to participate.

  • What would you do differently next time?

Increase the time and resources to accommodate more new editors.
