There is a space for discussing research on meta, although I don't know if it's been used in quite the same way as on the German Wikipedia.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research
Sometimes I find it difficult to know how exactly to share anything before I have a finished project because I tend to take a phenomenological approach to research. Most of what I do is grounded in human experience and practice and requires in-depth interpretative analysis. And, of course, because I do a lot of qualitative work, the data itself needs to be protected for the sake of my participants. Perhaps these are issues that warrant discussion in such a resource. :-)

Maybe what we need is a wiki research cookbook? Sort of a step-by-step approach with code snippets on methodologies? A wiki book?
In the German Wikipedia, we have a couple of pages in the Wikipedia namespace, dedicated to Wikipedia research: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedistik Researchers can describe their projects there and - if they want - also work partially in public in the wiki.
The same could be done on an international level on meta wiki. If there's interest here, I can set up a page similar to the german one.
