[Announcements] Funded Movement Strategy Implementation Grants (MSIG)

Welcoming Newcomers Research Initiatives

This is a project granted recently to a project team led by @Marcmiquel. The initiative targeted for this project is Initiative 9 - Methodology to improve the Wikimedia platform UX research, design, testing, and community engagement. #improve-user-experience

Marc will be developing research and tools to design more effective initiatives to welcome newcomers. The research will focus on areas that have a potential for high impact,which have been supported by previous research, but are currently not prioritized. The outputs of this research are expected to contribute to the growth of Wikimedia communities by offering scalable solutions on more effective ways to welcome newcomers.

Are you wondering how to tackle issues of editor retention in your community? Reach out to the project team to exchange ideas.

Congratulations to this project team, as we look forward to the findings of this research!
