Hey all,
thanks for the great feedback. A couple of notes to expand on Jonathan's response.

Aaron: I'll ask Baha about the issue tracking... *issue* today. The code is hosted on Gerrit now, with a one-way mirror on this GitHub repo[1], which is not ideal from an openness/collaboration POV. For me, enabling easy issue tracking and pull requests is the most pressing issue. In the meantime, you can submit tasks through Phab. Add them to the Research board[2] and/or as subtasks of our Landing Page creation epic[3]. Not ideal, but at least you can capture things this way.
this is far from optimal. Due to production requirements, all code needs to be on Gerrit, but asking people who want to suggest typo fixed to go through the developer access instructions is a usability nightmare. Jonathan's suggestion is a temporary solution, I'd like to work with Baha to figure out if there's a possible workflow that allows us to receive PRs and issues on GitHub, have them synced with Gerrit, before they are reviewed and, if +2'ed, merged there. This may take a while so we appreciate your patience.
Federico: Translation via translatewiki would be very cool. We haven't prioritized this because, well, none of our on-wiki research team pages were ever translated, and this microsite is intended to supplement our on-wiki content, not replace it. But it sounds like a potential 'roadmap' kinda deal and I'll make sure to track it.
<what Jonathan said>
Our assumption was that the place for volunteer communities to find translated content is (and should be) on wiki, and we can tap all the existing workflows for translation there as needed. The main audiences for this landing page are (primarily English speaking) funding and research organizations who don't know how to navigate content across 4+ wikis and a number of external data / publication repositories. I support the idea of translations, if we can make it work and if there's appetite for it, the minimum viable content was intentionally conceived to be in English.
Iolanda: this is the landing page for the Wikimedia Foundation Research
team[4], not for the international community of researchers who study Wiki[*]edia. It's also not the landing page for all researchers and research activities within the Wikimedia Foundation--just those of team members (and Aaron, whose Scoring Platform team is a kind of spin off/sibling of the research team).
As an additional clarification: the Research Index on Meta remains the central hub of all research projects created by the volunteer community, academic researchers, and Wikimedia Foundation staff. This landing page acts as a filter, and a thin layer of discoverability, to the contributions made by the Wikimedia Research team to the Research Index (as well as additional documentation that may exist across other wikis). Hope that makes sense.
Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. Keep it coming,
Jonathan

Hey folks, I see you're using github[1], but you've disabled the issue tracker there. Where should I submit bug reports and feature requests? Maybe you could add a link next to "source code" at the bottom of the page.

Depends on which standard. This is not a wiki page so it won't be translatable using the on-wiki translate tools. However, it's quite possible that we could use something like translatewiki.net. I'm not sure if that is on the road map. Dario, what do you think?

Will it be translatable with standard tools?
