[Gendergap] OFFLIST Re: Incentive programs and wikicups: Effectiveness?

[Pete Forsyth]

Hey Laura, I've been meaning to ask you this -- have you talked to Siska Doviana in Indonesia? She's run a couple university contests, and reported on them. I'm not sure if there's been formal research, but she is full of information. I could introduce you if you haven't met her.

Or into the effectiveness of wikicups like Bacon at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bacon/Bacon_WikiCup/2012 ?  Do they spur collaboration?  Do they engage new audiences that may not otherwise have worked on content or similar content?
