Dear Wikipedia Researchers,

We have posted a wiki about the Editor Trends Study on the strategy wiki, you can find it here: http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Trends_Study

We would like to have your input on our suggested approach and in particular we are curious about your thoughts concerning the following topics:

1) Definitions of New Editor and Active Editor, do these definitions correspond with your experiences and are they clear? 2) We suggest doing two types of analysis (Active editor composition by tenure and Cohort analysis New Wikipedians). What additional analysis would you suggest that could reveal crucial information that these two analyses would not generate? 3) Sample of Wikipedia sites to study, let us know if there are other Wikipedia projects that may be useful to analyze and we'll do our best to include those.

Please leave your ideas / suggestions on the Talk page and thanks for your input.

Best,

Howie& Diederik
