Wikimedia France/Démarche qualité round 2 2013-2014 Q2

Axis 1 : Increasing the number of contributors and enriching the contents using the sensitization and training of different publics

Impact on Wikimedia projects

• Progression of quality
  • Increasing the skills, knowledge of the target audiences (trainings)

As part of two days of training at the BUPMC, students were asked to fill in a satisfaction questionnaire. Out of more than 20 students, only 7 responded to the questionnaire. Overall, the training being more focused on outreach activities rather than learning how to edit Wikipedia , only 40% of them felt they had increased their editing skills. However 70 % of them understood what is at stake when it comes to editing Wikipedia, especially regarding the reuse of Wikipedia in classrooms.

• Innovation potential
  • Tools set up to capitalize on innovation

No innovative action set up over the last quarter.

Social Impact

• Partnerships development
  • Partners satisfaction

Actions took place but this data was not assessed. Indeed, it seems more appropriate to assess partners' satisfaction level once a year (e.g.for the impact report), in the case of a long term partnership with several steps and actions throughout the year. However, it could be assessed right after an event if it is a one-shot partnership (which is less common).

• Sustainable development
  • Ethical and/or responsible actions

No action had an ethical/responsible dimension over the last quarter.

• • Use and / or development of free software tools

As part of the two days of training at the BUPMC , 2 free softwares were used: Firefox and Chromium.

• Political impact
  • Level of change (law project impact, political decision, agreements..;)

Wikimedia France has obtained an approval from the Ministry of Education which now recognizes our charity as a legitimate partner for public education. More information is available in the Education portal's newsletter (November issue): http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/November_2014

The department Loire Atlantique also signed an agreement last summer with local autorities and was allowed in in the town hall .

Axis 3 : Favouring the international cooperation

Impact on Wikimedia projects

• Progression of quality
  • Increasing the skills, knowledge of the target audiences (trainings)

The executive directors gained knowledge of strategy design elements during the 2-day seminar : SWOT matrix, business model canvas, stakeholders mapping , etc. A qualified facilitator transfered his expertise throughout the two days, through dedicated exercises.

• Innovation potential
  • Tools set up to capitalize on innovation

For the first time, the EDs seminar had an external facilitator, which was a common decision from the group. It helped to make the discussions flow better, keep the timing and go through all the exercises planned. A deliverable was expected at the end of the seminar (a roadmap with actions to be taken by the ED group) and this acted as a catalyst of the energy available to reach concrete outputs. The fact that the seminar agenda was built around themes allowed to compare similarities and differences among our chapters.

Regarding the Wikimedia Foundation site visit, a table agregating all comments received by the staff during their presentations and exhanges with Anasuya & Garfield was designed, in order to capitalize and leverage opportunities, especially in the next FDC proposal. It would probably have been helpful to get a report/assessment from the FDC staff members as a complement to this self-designed grid.
