Reaction, Discussion, Analysis
[
edit
]
- Only one of seven attendees are familiar with editing.
- Majority of were unfamiliar with the basics: nature of Wikis, Wikipedia, WikiProjects, volunteer editors, Language editions, 5 Pillars, editing, Wikimedia, Wikimedia Foundation and its "agenda", etc.
- Skepticism and questions on its quality, anonymous accounts, potentials remains; much of it came from their uni education.
How Can Wikimedia Assist PNM?
[
edit
]
- Wikipedia as an upstream site to PNM, boosting their traffic (recent check on Alexa traffic analysis puts this feature out)
- Direct contact with some top editors
- Relevant sharing & workshops
- Digital commons assistance (PNM has a collection of ancient manuscripts)
How Can PNM Assist Wikimedia?
[
edit
]
- Scepticism and greater interests from professional circles of Wikimedia
- Consideration of Wiki / the group withins PNM's projects/ goals
- Expert knowledge (Jawi usage, guidance in a settling of article quality disputes, etc.)
- Understanding of what is 'Wikipedia in Malaysia' via
Daniel's thesis
.
Potential Short-Term Actions
[
edit
]
- Initial contact was to arrange for a talk on Wikidata, but the awareness and good will are more important for now.
- Identify personnel within the library's numerous departments that are keen on Wikimedia
- Prepare well for the January presentation that could include the director of PNM in its audience.
- Identify clearer idea of potential relationship
Overall this is a nice small step towards institutional relationships/partnership.
