Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Anyone interested in a Wikimania panel onresearch ethics?

Greetings wiki researchers,

Looking through the submissions for Wikimania, I see that there is nothing yet on the subject of researchers in Wikipedia and there could be a good panel or workshop discussion on this topic.  At the moment, the theme would be something along the lines of "Researchers in my Wikipedia? It's more likely than you think" and have wiki researchers on the panel who will talk about ethics, protocols, methodologies, and their relation to community norms and policies. Topics like the SRAG are especially relevant, and there are lots of other issues out there with ethnographic research, archival/data privacy, and more.  My idea for the Wikimania panel is to build a dialog with the community on these issues, but if there is enough interest, an excellent open space session at WikiSym could easily be organized to deal with the more academic side of this issue.  I'm also open to other ideas if other people have them.

So if anyone who is going to Wikimania and Wikisym is interested in this, please let me know today or tomorrow.  Sorry for doing this so late, but I just realized that the deadline is the 20th.  

Thanks,
Stuart Geiger
