Erik,

thanks for starting the page. My first questions as an occasional reader would be:

- How should I understand this table? Is this restricted to WMF-driven projects or open to other research contributions? - What is the scope of this table? i.e. how do these projects compare with the body of wiki research out there? - What does it mean for a project to "have a WMF sponsor"? - What should I expect by " submitting my project for consideration"

These are issues that you should clarify before we can start contributing (as an RCom member I myself don't have a definite answer to some of the above questions).

Hello all,

you've probably seen this -- help making the page more useful is much appreciated :-)

Hello all,

I've created http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research/Projects as a new canonical tracking page for research projects that are either currently underway, or that have been recently completed.

If you're currently conducting Wikimedia-related research projects, please list them on this page. For those not comfortable with wiki-tables, there's a simple submission form as well.

Feel free to make the page or workflow more useful if you have any ideas for doing so :-)

Thanks and all best, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
