Inuka team/ja

はじめに
新興地域に暮らす人々は100万人単位でオンラインデビューを果たそうとしています. インターネットでコンテンツを消費するのと同じように、私たちのプロジェクトでは知識にアクセスできる場として新しい読者を歓迎することが欠かせません.

ウィキメディア財団イヌカチームは2019年7月、製品部門の中に創設しました（Inuka、旧称は新人読者製品チーム）. 当チームの使命とは、ウィキペディアにとって新興市場の読者に魅力的な体験を提供し、インターネット利用が急拡大している地域においてウィキペディアの採用と利用者数の維持をますます進めることにあります.



イヌカ Inuka という名称の由来は？
スワヒリ語でイヌカ （Inuka）とは「立ち上がること」を意味しています. 新興市場の読者にとってウィキペディアほかウィキメディアのプロジェクトはまだ遠い存在ですが、当チームの使命とは、その内容がもっと身近になるようにすることです. そこでアフリカという新興市場の、ある地域で人々が話す言語から、当チームの名称を選び、私たちが選ぶ商品をどういう人たちに届けようとしているのか、心に留めようとしています. It is aspirational, and reminds the team that everything we build or implement should be taking us towards the goal of raising worldwide readership.

目的

 * Deliver compelling experiences and raise the relevance of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia project content to readers (and contributors) in emerging markets, and driving increased adoption and retention..



チームの原則
Below are some of our team principles when designing and building products for emerging audiences and underserved communities:


 * 1)  Explore new form factors .
 * 2) * We build for audiences that have the ability to benefit from digital information and services in a format that fits their access patterns.
 * 3) * We explore new and upcoming formats that diverge from our traditional offering of long-form articles.
 * 4) * We focus on new knowledge consumers and contributors where we see interactions such as content amplification, preservation, curation etc.
 * 5) * This can either be on-wiki or off-wiki experiences accessible on  different/any devices.
 * 6) Emerging audiences and underserved communities centric
 * 7) * The identity of audiences within areas of recent digital growth, and their unifying elements can largely determine the scope of activities serving their needs. This would ensure that project  specific scope, resourcing, implementation, and impact measurement can be handled effectively and appropriately.
 * 8) * The Inuka team meets users where they are and builds local innovations that are scalable to meet the emerging/growing needs for new audiences.
 * 9) Confluence of product, programs, & partnerships
 * 10) * Projects for emerging audiences and under-served communities will require the creation of last mile connection routes to users, to meet them where they are. Collaborators within the Wikimedia movement i.e. affiliates, usergroups, grantees, and others, will require extended stakeholding to create successful partnerships for these initiatives.
 * 11) * Strategic collaborations - either through programmatic activity or business partners, and depending on objectives helps us to scale in terms of scope, diversity, and reach.
 * 12) Experiment, iterate & learn
 * 13) * Through experiments, we propose and test hypotheses for audiences contributing and  consuming information in experiences and forms that diverge from our traditional offering of a website with articles.
 * 14) * This entails a lot of learning and iterating in an uncertain and agile environment and being ready to sunset products in the event of failure and  providing to the movement recommendations for our learnings.
 * 15) Short development cycle
 * 16) * The urgency of meeting the demands in emerging audiences and underserved communities, require our products to be developed swifty, be nimble, and reach a large number of people quickly.  The Inuka team aims to have a fast turn around on experimentation, implementation and product development.
 * 17)  Multi-lingual 
 * 18) * We build products while keeping in mind compliance with universal standards of internationalization equity, and made ready for immediate or future use in all languages of the world.



長期間のプロジェクト

 * Wikistories for Wikipedia lets editors create short, visual and reliable knowledge from Wikipedia for quick consumption and easy sharing. It will generate content in visual format to capture and distribute encyclopedic knowledge that is less suitable for long form articles. This new form of content contribution will take into account the constraints editors in emerging digital communities face when contributing content, and make it easier/more welcoming to contribute to knowledge successfully through mobile phones.
 * Wikistories for Commons Visually curated knowledge is an area that needs more exploration in our projects. We see an opportunity around how underrepresented knowledge transcended in diverse ways, the type of knowledge favouring representation as a visual experience. Culture, Art, Heritage, History and Language topics lend itself to this kind of visual representation, as seen in various photo essay campaigns done on Commons. This might be an opportunity to increase underrepresented knowledge in our projects. This project is still on exploration phase.
 * ウィキペディア・プレビューを使うと、ウィキペディアの記事ページをサードパーティのウェブサイト上に文脈の情報として提供します. Wikipedia Preview on partner websites would allow their readers to gain context while reading their pages and help people gain contextual knowledge from Wikipedia without necessarily clicking through to Wikipedia and learn more on Wikipedia with the option being available to read more on Wikipedia. Similar to page previews but for external sites. The code can be integrated into the site, or, if the external site uses WordPress, then they can use the WordPress plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wikipedia-preview/.
 * Wikipedia for KaiOS, a Wikipedia reading app for smart feature phones. Availing Wikipedia content on 4G smart, feature phones, would grow knowledge across many parts of emerging markets, specifically India. Released in two versions, one for India and one for rest of the world. アプリを短い動画で紹介

Design research

 * Wikistories Indonesia Concept testing research gathered feedback from Indonesian editor communities on early concepts and designs for Wikistories, focusing on the experiences of potential Wikistories creators coming from the editing community
 * クリックすると作動する試作版ウィキストーリーを使った利用者対象の定性調査は、対象地ケニヤ、ナイジェリア、南アフリカの新人投稿者と投稿者になりそうな人について、コンテンツ制作者と消費者の行動分析を主題にしており、これらアフリカの対象地3ヵ国は特にウィキメディア関連の利用者行動と文脈に特徴があります.
 * インドで定性調査を実施、利用者はこれらの写真をなぜ何のために使っているか究明（PDF形式）. 私たちの調査では、手ごろな価格だったしスマートフォンの手順と同じように簡単に手に入ったから、利用者はこれらの写真を購入することにしたとわかりました. We also learned the challenges they face trying to read Wikipedia within the native mobile browser. Challenges included ability to scroll through content, text size on the screen, searching for content and lack of awareness that Wikipedia content is available in multiple languages.
 * Early adopters survey feedback In collaboration with Wikimedia Indonesia organized a series of workshops and trainings for Wikistories. These workshops took place in-person in five Indonesian cities (Yogyakarta, Bandung, Padang, Jakarta, and Denpasar) between July and October of 2022. This survey project gathered structured feedback from Indonesian Wikipedia editors who attended these workshops, all of whom were early creators of Wikistories.
 * Early adopters moderated research In order to more effectively conduct research with the Indonesian community, we worked with FloLab, a Jakarta-based UI consultant to help us with this project. Our aim was to understand the experiences of early Wikistory adopters, both creators and readers, focusing on their motivations and experiences creating and sharing stories. We also wanted to understand what motivated current and potential Wikistories readers and creators to engage with this feature.
