I've just added some initial discussion to the talk page. This research would like to perform recruitment via Special:EmailUser. I'm not sure how I feel about that so I've summarized my thoughts on the matter and asked for input.

Also, I've added myself as the "WMF Contact", but I'm not officially WMF anymore. I wonder if we might change that field to RCom Contact or add a new field.

Dear Dario Taraborelli & Aaron Halfaker,

I would like to bring to your attention a new research project that i posted on Wikipedia. The page can be found here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Anonymity_and_conformity_over_the_net

As i describe in the text the benefits for understanding the differences between complete anonymity, pseudonymity and when users use their emails can be tremendous for online communities and increasing collaboration.

I also attach to this email a draft(which i haven't proof read yet so errors can be present) which contains a more rigorous presentation of the concepts. In fact this draft is the planned version that eventually after fixing will be send to the publisher of the journal.

I need to note that the methods that i proposed are subject to change if they violate certain guidelines. Generally i will accept whatever changes you propose as long as they maintain the probability sampling method which is essential for better results.

Since the survey has already been developed. I am providing you with two links(if you need more i can give you more) so that you can see it for yourselves and judge(hopefully with good comments but constructive criticism is more than welcome) :-)
