Hand-coding

Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:24, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

We need a fancy shmancy design for the new Draft namespace

Hi Paul, Your name has come up at discussions at Wikipedia talk:Drafts.

Basically, page Draft namespaces need to be "clearly" be "Drafts", not at all "Wikipedia articles. We need to cue readers into this difference, without being obtrusive and obnoxious about it, of course. If readers confuse "Drafts" for "Wikipedia Articles", the whole premise of the namespace falls apart. And the Draft namespace is our most promising attempt to combat our losses in Editor Retention and Openness.

So, no pressure, but right now, the fate of the movement is all on you. <grin> --HectorMoffet (talk) 12:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
