• By Jan 25 - Debug editweeks code/identify source of pre-cutoff edits (Nate)
• By Jan 25 - Start writing analysis code

• (Sneha) Plan for visit in September
• (Sneha) Continue preliminary analysis with 25 wikis

Retreat Tasks

• Document and organize the git repository.
• Data exploration / preliminary analysis.

Next Steps (July 18)

• (Salt with Nate's help) Add new dumps to wikilist
• (Nate) Update wikiteam mapping.
• (Sneha) (Using wikiq data) Check that dumps, even if valid xml, have message wall data.
• (Sneha) create list of subsetting characteristics (inclusion criteria for Wikis) for study.
• (Sneha) create exploratory plots for a larger set of wikis of different sizes.
• (Sneha) Request new dumps for missing wikis.

Next Steps (July 11)

• (Sneha) (Using wikiq data) Check that dumps, even if valid xml, have message wall data.
• (Sneha) create list of subsetting characteristics (inclusion criteria for Wikis) for study.

• (Sneha) Request new dumps for missing wikis.
• (Salt) Download wikis available on Special:statistics. Done
• (Nate) Scrape admin and bot edits using a script from Mako. Done

Next Steps (June 27th)

• (Sneha) Take a look namespaces 1200-1202 to understand what they mean. Done
• (Sneha) create list of subsetting characteristics (inclusion criteria for Wikis) for study.
• (Sneha) create exploratory plots for a larger set of wikis of different sizes.
• (Salt) Download wikis available on Special:statistics.
• (Salt) Request new dumps for missing wikis.
• (Nate) Scrape admin and bot edits using a script from Mako.
• (Nate) Finish identifying wikiteam mapping Done.

Next Steps (June 20th)

• (Nate) Improve wiki list by identifying wikis that turn off the feature without turning on first (Done)
• (Nate) Get muppet wiki Dr. Horrible Wiki edit weeks for Sneha (Done)
• (Nate) Do brute force mapping using revision ids and and hashing texts (Done)
• (Sneha) Will play with Dr. Horrible data (Done)
• (Sneha) create list of subsetting characteristics for study

Next Steps (June 13th)

• Build a new dataset of dumps of the ~4800 wikis (Salt/Nate) (May take more than a week to generate all the new dumps)

• Build a msgwall version of the build_edit_weeks file from the anon_edits paper (Nate)

• Do analysis of alt history wiki and update (Sneha)

• Create list of criteria to identify wikis we want to use in this study (Sneha)

Next Steps (June 6th)

• Identify list of Wikis we will analyze from the tsv file.

• Attempt to obtain a good dump for each of these wikis. See CommunityData:Wikia Dumps for information.

• • This may depend on mapping between the urls in the tsv file and the dumps. Consider using HTTP redirects from the url under <siteinfo>.

• Modify Wikiq to give an error message if the closing </mediawiki> tag is missing.

• Sneha to take a look althistory data from Nate.

• Nate will write a version of build_edit_weeks for the message wall project

• Check back next meeting Tuesday (June 13th)
