 Growth チーム発信のニュースレター09号をお届けします.

Growth チームは中規模ウィキペディアで新しい寄稿者の定着に役立つよう、ソフトウェアの改良に取り組んでいます.

Growth 機能をもっと多くのウィキに公開
Growth チームの活動が始まっておよそ1年経過しました. この期間に、編集者の定着を促すと期待される機能をいくつか開発しています. 定着率向上に役立っているかどうか、科学的な分析にかけるためデータ収集は今も続けながら、それら機能の中には、実際に試用してみたいと希望するウィキに、もっと広く実装できるものがあると考えています. ご自分が参加しているコミュニティで熱烈に新人編集者を受け入れようとしている場合は、ぜひご連絡をいただき、一緒に適格性を検討しませんか.

その後、チェックリストに照らして、下記の機能を実装する準備に進みます.


 * ヘルプ パネル：新人編集者が編集中にヘルプを探したり質問したりする機能です.
 * 歓迎アンケート：新人編集者がどんな話題や編集のタイプに関心を示すかわかります.
 * EditorJourney：参加した初日に新人編集者がどんなワークフローをたどるかわかります.

一般のニュース

 * A new quarter of the year has started, and the team has set our goals for the next three months. The most important goals are:
 * Newcomer homepage: increase activity through a task recommendations module. Now that we have seen several weeks of positive activity on the newcomer homepage, we think that the most important thing to add is a way for newcomers to find tasks to work on. The challenge will be recommending the right kind of tasks at the right point of their journey.
 * Newcomer homepage: increase feature discovery rate by 100%. Right now, only 20% - 30% of newcomers ever visit their homepage. We want to double that number by making sure all newcomers know how to find it.
 * Help panel: increase usefulness through improvements to affordance, search, and UX flow. We have looked closely at data and anecdotes from the usage of the help panel, and we plan to pursue specific improvements to increase its effectiveness (see accompanying image of a feature that helps newcomers find responses to their questions).
 * Wikimania is coming up next month, which includes a "Community Growth" space. We hope to see people from all communities there to talk about how to bring newcomers into our movement.
 * We have started to deploy features to our team's fourth target wiki: Arabic Wikipedia. That wiki is the biggest one we target, it has a high percentage of mobile users, and also is our first right-to-left language.  This will help us make sure that our features are valuable for as many types of users as possible.

モバイル版ホームページとデータ分析の初期

 * 新人編集者向けのホームページのモバイル版をチェコ語版、朝鮮語版、ベトナム語版のウィキペディアに実装しました. これにより、新人編集者はデスクトップ版でもモバイル版でも自分専用ホームページを開けるようになります.
 * We have published our first set of data about the performance of the newcomer homepage. In summary, we are happy with the homepage's performance so far. We see about half of visitors clicking on something, and the majority of them returning to the homepage multiple times.
 * Because we see positive usage of the homepage, we will deploy several small features in the next two weeks that help more newcomers discover their homepage (see accompanying image of a feature that helps newcomers discover their homepage from their empty Contributions page).
 * As listed in our goals above, we'll be starting to focus on adding task recommendations to the newcomer homepage. We'll be publishing early thoughts on this feature so that community members can give their thoughts and advice.
