Hi all, I just want to +1 Siko's comment here. I'm on IEGCom and I pay attention
to discussions on proposal talk pages and in the endorsement sections. Your input makes a
difference.
Thanks,
Pine

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Funding research proposals - your input requested by 20 April
Hi researchers,
Some projects that may be of interest to you are currently proposed for Individual
Engagement Grants (IEG).[1] Your input is very welcome to help us decide which projects
to fund.
Please share any comments/questions/feedback you have directly on a proposal's talk
page by April 20 2014.
There are 4 research
proposals:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Co-Location_Impact_Stu…
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_and_Wikipedia
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Optimizing_Wikimedia_Category_Sy…
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/The_use_of_Wikipedia_by_doctors_…
Why you might want to give input:
*We want to encourage research that forwards the movement's ability to solve key
problems, and so do you.
*Questions and suggestions from people with some related expertise helps improve these
projects.
*Your comments provide the IEG committee with additional perspectives when they are
scoring proposals and making recommendations to WMF starting in late April.
*If key questions from potential stakeholders can be publicly addressed before a proposal
gets to the WMF approvals stage in May, that saves everyone's time and energy and
helps us fund better projects :)
Thanks,
Siko
