All,
I would like to bring to your attention an issue that is currently being discussed within the Wikimedia Summer of Research program. I am hoping that RCom members will be able to draft a policy proposal on public editor-related data that would allow the largest possible reuse of this data for research purposes while being respectful of the privacy of our editors, as defined by the WMF privacy policy. Your feedback is appreciated:
