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.

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:
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 :)
