This mailing list is directed at people doing research on or about the Wikimedia Projects and Communities, broadly conceived.
If there is to be a list for the internal research group it should have a distinctively different name.
This list is intended to be a low volume list for academic researchers (though not confined to traditional academics of course) to make contacts for potential co-authors, report on research, discuss research programs and proposals.

ok sorry
Yet : we were discussing on a proposal for metadata on educational documents, weren't we ? This proposal could become a Wikimedia Project, or could become part of aa existing Wikimedia Project, couldn't it ?

Yes but that is not the purpose of this list. The purpose of this list to to facilitate scholars who are studying wikipedia, not to deal with internal efforts to research projects which would become a Wikimedia project or part of a Wikimedia project.
I think there was just some confusion because we have a new research committee as well as this list.
I made this list because everywhere I go I meet people who are writing masters theses and so on about Wikipedia, and I want to connect them together.
This has very close to nothing to do with the research committee.

Hello,
If this project is thought to become possibly a Wikimedia project, then the place to discuss it is foundation -l@wikimedia.org
Best regard
