Hey guys. For my thesis project I am doing a ground up redesign of mediawiki's interaction. (blue prints, not construction)

Ill be looking at how people use it, from a user / contributer / administrator role and how we can help make it batter and easier.

From the many wikis I have run, It seems most people are afraid to edit/ contribute to it because it is so complicated. (or seems so)

Would anyone be interested in talking to me about what they do/don't like, and what they have a hard time with as an administrator? Also what your users have issues with.

Thanks,
