I logged this task in phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77829 I do think a left sidebar link for research participation would be good, but I don't think that below the language list is the right place for it, since it could move around so much.

The issue with feedback boxes such as this is, as AFTv5 showed, they attract far more bad than good, and someone will have to shift through the responses. Doing it like this allows them to focus on those actually editing, as opposed to those who don't. There is nothing stopping us from circulating this off-list - feel free to do this if you want.

We should get a proper sample from *readers*, not only active contributors who happen to be reading this list. We should not use such a non-wiki medium as Google Hangouts which is a participation barrier. We should not force people to do surveys.
I suggest we put a small feedback textbox in the sidebar of all Wikimedia projects, below everything above the langs list, and analyse output from that.

Hi all, The Wikimedia Foundation's Design Research team,[1] Abbey Ripstra and
Daisy
Chen, are looking for people to participate in research about editing. They want to talk with both experienced editors and new editors to better understand what you do, how you do it, what is difficult and what works well with editing tools. Currently, they're doing some hour-long research interviews over Google Hangouts. In the future, there will be other types of research programs, probably including a card sorting task to determine how editing tools and tasks could be organized to suit you best.
If you would like to hear about opportunities to participate in
user-based
research, please sign up here: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6R04ammTX8uoJFP This is a small survey to fill out so the research team knows a little
bit
about your experience level and how to contact you to invite you to research. You can always opt out again, and signing up does not obligate you to participate.
Please pass this along. Thank you!
