This page aims to list the different types of organisations and audiences that WMUK activities should seek to appeal to, and the different types of activities that are appropriate to those organisations and audiences. The organisations and audiences are in no particular order.
GLAM
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums
- Wikipedian in Residence - e.g. British Museum, Derby, ARKive
- Backstage Passes - e.g. British Museum, Derby
- Content partnerships (images, text, metadata), e.g. Mary Rose Trust
- Editathons - e.g. British Library
- Conferences - e.g. GLAM-WIKI
- Digitization
Education
Split up into three different groups: primary, secondary/college, university
Primary
- ???
Secondary/college
- Need lesson plans, sandbox areas, ways to log a class onto Wikipedia. We could commission these through Wikiversity?
- Need links to National Curriculum - not just I.T. but most subjects. Ideal for teaching how to write academically with refs, no copying etc.
- Need to advertise Simple.Wikipedia and using other languages to support foreign students learning subjects that are not EWnglish language.
University
- Campus Ambassadors
- Wikipedia writing assignments
- Student societies
- Wikipedia Workshops
- Editathons
Research/Academia
Including scholarly societies. Some overlap with GLAM.
- Links with journals (rfam etc.)
- Wikipedia Workshops
- Sponsorship to attend relevant conferences, e.g. WikiSym Scholarships
Developers
i.e. MediaWiki and other free software
- Hackathons / bugsquashing sessions
- Contract development
Wikimedia community
- Editing competitions
- OTRS workshops
- Wikimeets (in supporting role), e.g. Wikimedia Girl Geek Dinner
- WikiConferences - e.g. WikiConference UK 2011
within the community
- Existing Wikimedia sub-communities e.g. Wikiprojects
- (What are the Wikiprojects' priorities and can we help fulfill them?)
- vs people getting involved with things that aren't their normal on-wiki interests
- (how many Hoxne Hoard editors had done anything Late Roman before?)
- Project led vs. cross-project working
- "editing a wikipedia article" or "releasing images" vs. working across projects (how many editors do? how many will if there is something special going on?)
Donors
- People who give during the Fundraiser
- how can we get them to give more/again, how can we get them involved in other ways
- Potentially - funding bodies
Miscellaneous
- Media - press coverage
