Actually, we already thought about creating a common knowledge-share space, possibly based in wiki technology but with many other useful tools. It could integrate many research sources about Wikipedia, currently scattered all over the web:<br><br>* WikiResearch at meta.wikimedia<br>* Wikimetrics at http://wm.sieheauch.de/, and other wiki bibliography sources (maybe, linked with Citeulike lists...).<br>* A common forum to exchange ideas and resources for research about Wikipedia.<br>* Most important thing: A common interface to ask Wikimedia Foundation for data sources. Wikimedia admins are (almost always) too busy to attend researchers' petititons. It's not rare to spend at least 3 months to obtain certain information sources, due to both contact and agreement delays. It's also frequent that certain common petitions show up again over time. With a central point to find resources, this problem would be mitigated, at least to some an extent point.<br><br>* Of course, a
 mailing-list would be also a benefit, possibly split into important subtopics: research-metrics, research-semantics, research-authoring...<br><br>Maybe Wikiversity could be a good starting point to integrate the whole thing.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Felipe.<br><b><i>Cormac Lawler &lt;cormaggio@gmail.com&gt;</i></b> escribió:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 5, 2008 10:56 PM, Dirk Riehle &lt;<a href="mailto:dirk@riehle.org">dirk@riehle.org</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I already moderate the WikiSym wiki research list, which is equally<br>low traffic, so I can offer to take this one on too. --Dirk</blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"> </div><div>I'd kinda like this list to be slightly

I'd like to offer Wikiversity [1] as a place where people interested could work and see what other people are working on - not replacing this list but augmenting it.
