Hi Dario,

I asked if I could see the questionnaire. None of my talk threads have been responded to, but you've added a new thread that includes the sentence "I don't know whether you would be using only a subset of the questions listed in the Wiki Anxiety/Usability Inventory (a document that was shared privately with WMF), but the questionnaire in its current state (46+22 questions)".  So I now know how long it is, but it has been shared privately and so presumably I can't have it.

Which leaves me feeling somewhat disconnected from the process.

I don't know whether the researcher has been asked if the survey can be shared with WMF volunteers on RCOM, or why the secrecy.

Currently our emails are logged on the Internet for all to see, so I'm not sure how we handle the situation where someone is willing to engage with just the WMF. I suppose moving to OTRS resolves that, though it does leave me wondering how we maintain transparency to the community. I suppose they key thing will be to set some boundaries as to what we are and are not prepared to do in Private.

I don't understand, that was my feedback to the researcher based on discussions I had with other product people at WMF (regarding technical aspects of the proposed integration with MoodBar, which are of direct WMF competence)

Apparently he's answered my query, but only to the WMF http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Investigating_editing_anxiety_in_new_users

That rather puts me in an uncomfortable position, is there any point in my getting involved in this?

I think he's aware of the talk page as he made the very first edit


I'll ping him again if we don't hear from him in the coming days

Thanks

Hi Dario,

Do we need to tell him there is a talkpage?

FYI Ben has updated the project description with further information about the sample and methods.
Thanks WSC for the initial feedback,
