Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new
Formal Collaboration [1] with Indira Sen, Katrin Weller, and Mareike
Wieland from GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences to work
collaboratively on understanding perception of readability in Wikipedia [2]
as part of the Addressing Knowledge Gaps Program [3]. We are thankful to
them for agreeing to spend their time and expertise on this project in the
coming year.
Here are a few pieces of information about this collaboration that we would
like to share with you:
* We aim to keep the research documentation for this project in the
corresponding research page on meta [2].
* Research tasks are hard to break down and track in task-tracking systems.
This being said, the page on meta is linked to an Epic level Phabricator
task and all tasks related to this project that can be captured on
Phabricator will be captured under here [4].
* I act as the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia
Foundation. Please feel free to reach out to me (directly, if it cannot be
shared publicly) if you have comments or questions about the project.
Best,
Martin
