Although it does lead to another question; a lot of studies are conducted around the world, many of them would benefit dramatically from publicity on a "top-5" website. How far does supporting those that ask go?
I think we should do our best to help. Mind you, not that many studies would benefit that strongly from such exposure - we /are/ a pretty biased sample, and unless the study is actually interested in participants in a collaborative endeavor (as this once clearly was) they are unlikely to come to us for support.
I suppose if there ends up being many of them, we'd have to sit down and find some more streamlined system. Perhaps a landing page where such projects are collected, and a pointer to /that/ instead. Or something else we haven't thought of yet.
The point is, I think this is the first that wasn't done informally with talk page invitations or email; so they're breaking new ground. Kinks and ruffled feathers are par for the course anytime you try something new.
