[Wiki-research-l] Possible project funding opportunity

Greetings fellow [Wiki-research-l] subscribers, I just wanted to notify everyone of the new "flow funding" initiative [1] in which I am participating. Essentially, the program decentralizes the grant process for small amounts (<$2000), giving plentiful discretion to individual "flow funders" (i.e., myself and others). Since my interests tend to be research-based; pertaining to quantitative methods, wiki security, and editing tools (as opposed to say, local meetups and community organizing) -- I thought some others on the list might have some proposals that fall within my scope. I imagined a grant of this size might be useful -- for example -- in the context of a Senior/Summer project; financing computing resources or a corpus labeling task to MTurk. The project is in its pilot stages, so we encourage ideas that test/stretch our current expectations. To submit an idea my way, visit [2]. The main portal [1] also lists the other members who might entertain your ideas.
