Are these not archived somewhere on Wikimedia servers?) And Mariano gave the link for 2009 ;-)
I would also like to know about various projects in which I can contribute .
Have you seen the research-l mailing list < https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l%3E, or other research-related pages on Metahttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research? (The latter link is not so up to date - could do with revamping.)
