Are you refering exclusively to WikiMedia Foundation sites and hence information contents and dynamics research?

Since you are asking about wikis in general, we had the first research conference on wikis in October 2005, see www.wikisym.org for proceedings and annotated conference paper sessions. The proceedings gives you a glimpse at what people are doing. The 2006 CfP should be out in a week or so.

Beat Doebeli Honegger has a bibliography online, but contents is as diverse as the ways you can do research about wikis. If mostly you are interested in information dynamics etc. like Wikipedia contents, you'll probably have to go to the various research groups.

I'd also search Wikipedia itself :-)

Researchers, I have a meta-research question :) … does anyone know if a list of techniques for researching wikis (both qualitatively and quantitatively) has been collected anywhere? I'm envisioning an annotated bibliography format of research techniques and the various studies that have used them to date, though other formats would be possible. I haven't seen such a compilation anywhere and was thinking of putting one together (realizing that it's an ambitious project!) Have any of you done such a thing already, know if it's been done already, or have thoughts about such a project? cheers, phoebe _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
