Hi everyone,

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've been studying different aspects from the encyclopedia for the past few years, cross-cultural analyis and community surveys, and also I've been involved in the Catalan community mainly (see my english Wikipedia profilehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marcmiquel ).

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.

I posted a project for the IEG Grants in WMF called "Studying content interest and editor engagement factors with new editorshttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_interest_and_editor_engagement_factors_with_new_editors". 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 "endorsement" at its page herehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Studying_content_interest_and_editor_engagement_factors_with_new_editors#Endorsements: .

Thanks!! Best,

Marc Miquel
