Kevin,
I'm collecting user data that I will make available to any interested researchers. It will be published on Godseye.com within the next six months. The data is a sha1 hash of user ip addresses traversing page nodes, with dates intact. This information is unavailable from wikipedia for privacy reasons. I was told it would be best if I were to collect it myself, so I am doing so in the interests of my own research, but I see no reason not to pass along the fruits of the effort to anybody who wants it. If six months is too slow and you want me to hurry up, post a link to a wikipedia article on godseye! Anything that will help with the search engines will speed the process, and help me with markov models of navigation behavior. Of course, if you are not doing research on user behavior, this will not help...

Colleagues,
I'm wondering if anyone else might be interested in trying to ramp-up the activity of the Research Network? More discussion of results, research ideas, methodologies, log manipulation, collaborative work, script sharing, visualization techniques, funding, etc?
I'm not sure exactly how to make this happen but thought that it might make a good topic itself. I'm wondering who might be coming to Boston? I'd be willing to buy the beer if we'd like to try to get together.
