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

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!
