While I won't comment on what motivation methods *I* think would work well,
I think it is a topic that has potential as the subject of academic
research.
It is just as important to know why people choose to do something as it is
to know why they choose not to do the same thing.

I think that better than ask why people don't
contribute, is better tell
them why SHOULD they? For us is easier to pass by the fact that not
everyone
knows why they should contribute. We should give
they as much info as
possible to make them a contributor, not asking why they don't do it.
Contribution is almost always a question of motivation, if you don't
motivate people to do it, they simply won't.

We have academics across the world who want to do research on Wikimedia.
What questions can we put to the researchers in order to obtain a
better understanding of
* why women don't contribute?
* what would help them contribute?
* other?
