Hi everyone,<br><br>I just joint the list for editor engagement and I wish I can contribute from time to time with comments. I am a phD student from Barcelona doing research on User Engagement in Wikipedia. I&#39;ve been studying different aspects from the encyclopedia for the past few years, cross-cultural analyis and community surveys, and also I&#39;ve been involved in the Catalan community mainly (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marcmiquel">my english Wikipedia profile</a>).<br>

<br>I met Pau Giner and Amir Aharon and I am collaborating with them in the Universal Language Selector, providing extra usability testing with Eye Tracking technique. Currently, I am analyzing the results and preparing new studies. <br>

<br>I posted a project for the IEG Grants in WMF called &quot;<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_interest_and_editor_engagement_factors_with_new_editors">Studying content interest and editor engagement factors with new editors</a>&quot;. I plan to understand how successful engagement occurs with new editors by means of an initial survey, qualitative work and few metrics to follow their progress. I would appreciate any comment or &quot;endorsement&quot; at its page <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_interest_and_editor_engagement_factors_with_new_editors#Endorsements:">here</a>.<br>

<br>Thanks!!<br>Best,<br><br>Marc Miquel<br>
