Growth/Growth 2014

The purpose of the Editor engagement experiments (E3) team is to find ways to attract and retain new Wikipedia editors. Rather than spending resources building products on a large scale, we test the effectiveness of our ideas using short term experiments. The team launched on April 16, 2012 and we are hiring several new full-time engineering positions for this team. Come work with us and shape the future of Wikipedia!
