Hi researchers,

I'm seeking your help in deciding on future IdeaLab campaigns. These campaigns can generate novel proposals that could be eligible for grant funding, and ultimately address needs in the projects to which you contribute:

Topics focused on research have an important value across Wikimedia projects. Personally, I've seen a lot of demand for research in discussions around Wikimedia projects, and as a volunteer on en.wiki, I've sometimes felt unequipped debating community, policy, and technical issues without relevant empirical data to ground my thinking.

You can offer feedback and add your own campaign topics on potential avenues for research through a survey conducted through AllOurIdeas < http://www.allourideas.org/idealab_campaigns%3E in addition to participating on the IdeaLab talk page.

I’m looking forward to seeing your feedback and exploring potential directions we can take IdeaLab campaigns starting next year.

Take care,

Jethro
