Forwarding to the Wikimedia Research list as this seems like something people there would be interested in.

Hello all,
I am working on a research project related to the idea of community and the extent to which Wikipedia constitutes a community, or may contain a community (in the group of editors, the WikiCommons or some other group). I would like to interview people who consider themselves part of a Wikipedia-related community, people who participate in Wikipedia but do NOT consider it a community, people who consider Wikipedia a community but see themselves as outside that community, or anyone at all who would like to talk about their experiences interacting with others in Wikipedia.
Those who are interested in talking to me about this can contact me at jessyrob@gmail.com.
Jessica
