Hey researchers,
Applicants for the current round of Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) have submitted two proposals that are heavily devoted to research activities:
Editor Behaviour Analysis https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Editor_Behaviour_Analysis > Aims to explore different ways to visualise general edit activity on a wiki
Ghana Editor Study https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Ghana_Editor_Study > Study of different Ghanaian Wikipedia editor groups to assess motivation
Applicants are seeking your feedback in these research initiatives. If one of these ideas any of the other current proposals interests you, consider reading it over, and feel free to endorse, express concerns, make suggestions, and ask questions. Your input and expertise will help the applicants develop better proposals, and support the IEG Committee during their evaluation. Comments are requested until October 19th.
You are, of course, welcome to check out and comment on other IEG applications for this round https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-join.
With thanks,
Jethro
Hi Jethro,
The Design Research team and I are always seeking to learn more about editors and readers across the globe, and have a lot to learn....so many places! so many people! :)
The Ghana Editor research proposal seems like it may offer us some knowledge that would be really useful, both for product development, and to build our our editor personas. So, it piqued my interest.
I have put some time on my calendar to read more carefully and provide some comments, etc. for the applicants before October 19th.
Thank you for sharing!
