Hi, I think the focus (or focii) of the group is yet to be decided. As it says on the page, there will probably be various focus groups working on their points of interest and then coming together at some point in time. Personally, I'm more interested in the psychological/sociological end of Wikipedia, and also Wikiversity, amongst other things. I'm sure if you have your own ideas, they'd be useful in brainstorming the work of the group.

I am currently doing researches on wikis generally, and wikipedia or jurispedia specifically.
Is the research team only working on the software or are you also studying the impact of wikis, alternate uses, history, etc. ???

I find it indeed important that in the case of paid developpers (which, imho there should be more of) the development needs addressed be that of as many "communities" as possible, so that no project feels left out in the end.
That's why I want to organize community meetings as soon as possible, where we will discuss with members of each community the needs of their project.
However, in the light of what has been said on the other threads about official positions, I find the use of a logo quite strange.
The logo says "Research", it can be used by anyone in the Wikimedia context for research-related activities. Note that Jakob placed it on the general [[m:Research]] page as well without being a member of the team.
