Hello,
In September, we announced [1] our second call for proposals to the
Wikimedia Research Fund [2]. Our submission deadline was December 16. We
are now in the exciting phase of reviewing submissions and making
recommendations for which proposals to advance to Stage II [3] and we
welcome your input.
We are using a two-phase review process consisting of a technical review
conducted by researchers and an open community process on Meta-Wiki [4]
before advancing to the next stages. On Meta-Wiki, you can read the
proposals under consideration and leave comments using our feedback form
linked from every proposal page.
We particularly welcome your feedback on the following proposals related to
education research:
