I talked to Asaf a bit about this project at OpenSym last week.
Fortunately, the project aligns closely with my interests in system-level
thinking[1] and system-level measurements[2]. I hope to contribute where I
can. :)

Hi Kerry,
Cool initiative. But then I expect nothing less from Ijon.
I probably don't have to time perform additional analysis, unless it's a
project I'm supporting on a volunteer basis. But one thing I do have time
for is leading more SQL tutorials[1] to teach more people how to ask and
answer questions with Wikimedia data. Always happy to set up a webinar.
I can also advise on sampling and other methodological considerations, and
*may* be able to help with gathering data in some cases. Ping me as needed.

Asaf Bartov has announced the WMF initiative:
Community Capacity
Development on the Wikimedia-l mailing list. The thread starts here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2015-August/078954.html
The initiative can be found here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Capacity_Development
As experimentation is mentioned in parts of this, I have asked a question
about the freedom to experiment, the engineering resources to support
experiments, and (possibly involving some of you) the support of WMF for
the qualitative and quantitative collection and analysis of data arising
from such experiments.
We speculate a lot on this list about what might make a difference but
generally that’s all we can do as we have no way to test an idea. So I am
genuinely curious to know if the resourcing is there to support
experimentation.
I also note that the on-wiki pages invite ideas. It occurred to me that
there might be scope for re-using ideas that have been put forward on this
list.
