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.
