Talk:WMUK Skills Development Training 2016
Some suggestions
This was discussed by several of us at the recent London Meet up.
Separate pages
Firstly I think it would be useful to separate the information on the two distinct training sessions, as there may be different people attending on the different days. Leutha (talk) 13:19, 14 December 2015 (GMT)
Volunteer engagement
I found the description of volunteer engagement somewhat unclear, and I am not sure to what extent it incorporates the lessons from organising Wikimania 2014. I have put up a presentation from 2014, which, I hope, encapsulates one of the salient issues. Leutha (talk) 13:19, 14 December 2015 (GMT)
Coproductive approach
One thing which came out of our discussion at the meet up is the vale of a co-productive approach, which is an important part of the Wiki Way. As far as I can tell there has been no steps taken to draw together what emerged from our two Volunteer Strategy Gatherings (VSG), and I would appreciate being pointed towards where the documents discussed in the Project based approach part of the VSG held in July. As far as I can tell we have not been able to have any community discussion of how to take Project Management forward with WMUK. There are in fact different sets of principles of project management which can then be applied in different ways depending on the nature of the project. As we are going to be creating a blueprint for project managing wikimedia events, perhaps we should be highlighting this as an important step towards precisely having that community discussion and that we will be implicitly be developing a WMUK approach to project based work, even if the process is not as formal as creating policy.Leutha (talk) 13:32, 14 December 2015 (GMT)
