Hi Aaron,
nice work, thanks for getting this started – I suggest we use a short and accessible
summary based on your draft as a landing page for all WMF research policy. We could then
point readers to specific pages depending on the specific requirements of their research.
I discussed with Erik some weeks ago the possibility of restructuring the research section
on Meta and he suggested we could create a dedicated Research namespace on Meta which
would allow better tracking of research policy documentation as well as have a dedicated
search engine, if that makes sense to RCom members I'll go ahead and start
restructuring contents in this direction. Someone recently complained that we don't
have an RCom category and I'm all for making the documentation we produce more
accessible and easy to navigate.

Hey folks,
Systems were down today so I managed to get a little bit of writing done. I've
worked up a draft of a guideline for on-wiki research
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:EpochFail/On-wiki_research).
I'm looking for feedback and/or edits. I'm hoping to use this as a catalyst to
restart discussions around research policy, recruitment and interfaces with Wikimedia
communities. The next thing on my plate is a rewrite of the Subject Recruitment Approvals
Group. I should have more on that soon.
Thanks,
-Aaron (EpochFail)
