Wikistories for Wikipedia/pt-br

A Estratégia do Movimento 2030 enfatiza a necessidade de focar a atenção na distribuição equitativa de oportunidades de compartilhamento de conhecimento nas Comunidades Wikimedia em todo o mundo.

Among the many initiatives being lined up, the is preparing for a project focused on visual representation of content available on Wikimedia sites, and workflows that can serve contribution and discovery towards such content.

This initiative is being served under the FY21-22 annual plan of the Wikimedia Foundation, and is expected to be a visual learning experience based on research, community & subject matter knowledge, and design & technical exploration. Os detalhes relacionados a este projeto serão adicionados a esta página à medida que avança nos próximos 12 meses, e esperamos que as interações aconteçam na página de discussão do projeto.

Inspiração e curta história
O conteúdo visual desempenhou um grande papel na forma como o conteúdo dos projetos da Wikimedia é consumido. Pictures, audio, video enhance the experience of something as simple as reading a Wikipedia article, and contribute immensely in preserving visual memory through the millions of multimedia content that grows each day in Wikimedia Commons. Campaigns such as Wiki Loves Monuments enrich this global mission, while at the same time provide the fundamental support system to projects like WikiSpecies or Wiki loves butterflies that are run by small groups of volunteers.

With a shift in technology over the last few years, visual forms of engaging with content online have grown globally, with both young and newer internet users being introduced to visually engaging content as their primary internet experience.

Conectando esses dois aspectos, a equipe Inuka encontrou uma oportunidade potencial para expandir como o conteúdo da Wikimedia pode ser adaptado para uma experiência mais visual. Through design experiments and usability studies that contributed towards projects such as Wikipedia KaiOS app and, this exploration progressed in small steps.

With the growing emphasis on designing our products to be more meaningful and inclusive for audiences across regions, demographics and their digital habits, it seemed like a good time to take this exploration further through a project that has been named Wikistories.

Metas

 * Expandir o público da Wikimedia. Alcançar um público maior e mais diversificado.
 * Fornecer um envolvimento mais gradual. Despertar o interesse nos tópicos antes que os usuários acessem formatos longos mais densos.
 *  Surface quality open content.  Fornecer uma fonte de informações de consumo rápida e confiável.

Early Explorations
We based the concept on the hypothesis that if we provide an easy way for contributors who primarily contribute using their phones, then we will see an increase in the diversity of content being contributed. This can particularly be important for smaller or emerging communities of contributors, whose languages and topics of socio-cultural interest have remained vastly underrepresented on the Wikimedia platform.

A very early version of a design concept was attempted in late 2020 and then again with more details in May 2021.



Upcoming work
From July to September 2021, the Inuka team plans to do the following for the Wikistories project:


 * Continue exploration of the Wikistories concept
 * Talk to experts - within and outside the Wikimedia Movement
 * Formulate workflows and prototypes for research and feedback
 * Finalize the concept for the first phase of this tool

Participating in Wikistories
The Inuka team is currently gathering more information and use cases about the Wikistories concept.

If you would like to participate in a research oriented conversation or try out early prototypes when they are available, let us know on the talk page and we will get in touch with you.
