From the Research Hackathon info page: this "is an
opportunity for anyone
interested in research on wikis, Wikipedia, and other open
collaborations
to meet, share ideas, and work together. It's being organized by
researchers in academia and the Wikimedia Foundation, but we want anyone
interested in research to participate. Whether or not you consider yourself
a researcher, or would ever want to be one, come with questions, answers,
data, code, crazy ideas... or just your insatiable curiosity."
Local participation will occur at Wikimania London and in Philadelphia, PA,
US. Remote participation is possible and will include researchers and
community members globally.
Please see the Research Hackathon information page for scheduling and
sign-up details.
