Overview

(last updated December 5)

Data collection & analysis

• Get missing wikis:
  • Salt will use wikiList.3.csv to find which wikis we don't have.
  • Salt will email Mako the list, and he will ask the Spaniards whether they have them
  • Collect any others we need (Salt, Mako)
• By Dec 6: Gather data for all wikis that made the switch within the first wave of migrations to msg walls (including re-running wikiq, new wikilist, and so on.) (Nate)
  • Partition Danny Horn csv into train and test sets (Nate)
• Write down preliminary inclusion criteria for analysis (Sneha)
• By Dec 12: Implement current inclusion criteria for analysis on training set, ensure all variables are built as intended (Sneha)
• Dec 12 - 22: Complete initial version of results (Sneha)
• Dec 22 - Jan 5th: Generate models that we plan to report (Sneha)
• Early April - run analysis on training set

Writing

• By Dec 15 - Convert draft of framing, literature review and methodology sections to ACM format (Sneha)
• Week of Jan 8 - Check-in meeting to discuss preliminary results (Sneha)
• By Jan 15 - Draft results section of the paper, identify changes to be made to framing/intro based on results (Sneha)
• By Jan 31 - Complete first draft of paper (Sneha)
• April 16 - CSCW abstract + metadata deadline
• April 19 - CSCW submission deadline

Next Steps (Nov 30)

• (Nate) Update code diagram to say we're using wikiList.3.csv
• (Nate) Write python code to create training set
• (Nate and Salt) Link missing dumps to online dump sources
• (Sneha) Write R code for analyzing data at the edit weeks level
