Just wanted to send an update that the first phase (the research component) of our proposal to the Wikimedia Foundation was approved. We’re moving forward with hiring a lead researcher to join this project.

Here is the job description (in Spanish, since fluency in that language is an essential requirement for the position), but please do share with those in your networks that may be interested in being a part of this exciting project.
