We are glad to announce the inaugural issue of the Wikimedia Research Newsletter [1], a new monthly survey of recent scholarly research about Wikimedia projects. This is a joint project of the Signpost [2] and the Wikimedia Research Committee [3] and follows the publication of two research updates in the Signpost, see also last month's announcement on this list [4].
The first issue (which is simultaneously posted as a section of the Signpost and as a stand-alone article in the Wikimedia Research Index) includes 5 "in depth" reviews of papers published over the last few months and a number of shorter notes for a total of 15 publications, covering both peer-reviewed research and results published in research blogs. It also includes a report from the Wikipedia research workshop at OKCon 2011 and highlights from the Wikimedia Summer of Research program.
The following is the TOC of issue #1:
• 1 Edit wars and conflict metrics • 2 The anatomy of a Wikipedia talk page • 3 Wikipedians as "Janitors of Knowledge" • 4 Use of Wikipedia among law students: a survey • 5 Miscellaneous • 6 Wikipedia research at OKCon 2011 • 7 Wikimedia Summer of Research • 7.1 How New English Wikipedians Ask for Help • 7.2 Who Edits Trending Articles on the English Wikipedia • 7.3 The Workload of New Page Patrollers & Vandalfighters • 8 References
We are planning to make the newsletter easy to syndicate and subscribe to. If you wish your research to be featured, a CFP or event you organized to be highlighted, or just join the team of contributors, head over to this page to find out how: [5] We hope to make this newsletter a favorite reading for our research community and we look forward to your feedback and contributions.

Hi.
I think it desirable to post this on Internal-L as well, at least for the first couple of issues, to get this concise information to many of our local Wikimedian communities. I expect there are quite a few people who could be interested in this, but currently aren't _aware_ of there being anything to be interested in... :)
(Maybe also add an explicit invitation to join the Research community and to look at relevant Meta pages.)
Cheers,
Asaf

Is there an RSS feed for these newsletters? I'd love to keep up to date on them, and that's my canonical way of following "stuff to read".
I didn't see one during a brief look at the newsletter web pages.

Reid, we're working on that – stay tuned

Hello, I have mentioned the newsletter on :de:Wikipedia:Kurier, and look for other places. It's worth that more Wikimedians learn about. Kind regards Ziko
