Hello,
There is a project Sandy assigned to me some months back that recently re-occurred to me, and I thought it ought to get done...
However, I realise I'm doing too much stuff now and really don't have the time, so I am asking if anyone here would like to do it (and will add it to tonight's agenda if that's okay).
This project is about finding academics among Wikipedians who are willing to talk about their work, in order to show how Wikipedia is a great starting point for academic research and that we also want academics to share their interest. This would be a good opportunity for the ComProj volunteer to get to know various projects as they would need to post on village pumps in lots of places.
Someone from the French chapter has done similar interviews (in French). The summary is on meta:

I think it could be of a great help.
