Стратегически Въпроси

  1. How will Wikimedia expand its reach from current ~1/20th of global population to reach its vision of “every single human being”?
    Approximately 3.5 billion people can read a Wikipedia with over one hundred thousand articles in their own language, approximately 4.8 billion people can read a Wikipedia with over ten thousand articles in their own language. (On the presumption of access to a computer with internet connection.)
  2. How can/should Wikimedia prioritize different reach populations?
  3. What initiatives can Wikimedia undertake to extend their reach? How should they prioritize these initiatives?

Resources

Wikimedia produced statistics

ComScore

  • ComScore data on Wikimedia
    • ComScore has an opt-in panel of two million internet users around the globe and uses a range of statistical techniques to create an internally consistent portrait of the global internet audience. However it is important to note that they do not estimate users who access the Internet via Internet cafés, and people below age 15, therefore, their statistics will not be representative of certain populations
    • It includes a breakdown of Wikimedia users by project, language, age, geography, and portal
    • PDF of ComScore trends data over time

Wikipedia survey

  • Pew Internet and American Life Project [1]
    • This website contains a wide variety of reports based on the pew Center for American life Internet use survey which covers the United States.

International Telecommunication Union

  • (A UN agency) ITU Homepage
    • This website provides a variety of reports and statistics about telecommunications globally.
    • Measuring the Information Society the ICT Development Index
      • This report ranks countries based on their ICT development using broad categories, ICT access, ICT use, and ICT skills ( measured by literacy, secondary education and tertiary education)
        Wikipedia reach and participation correlates strongly with the ICT Development Indices in this ITU report. Languages spoken in countries with a high ICT Development Index have a Wikipedia with a greater number of articles than languages spoken in countries with a low ICT Development index. The report does highlight that this is not only due to differences in national income. Relative price (ICT cost as percentage of monthly per capita income) is a strong driver of ICT development, a lower relative price corresponding with a high ICT development and a high relative price corresponding with a low ICT development. Conclusion for the Wikimedia movement to extend reach in under served areas is to help lower the relative price of ICT in those areas. Please note also that this report high lights that already in 2007 over 4 billion people have a mobile phone, compared to only 1.7 billion fixed lines. And note that internet access level in sub Sahara Africa is one tenth of the internet access level in the Western world.
