Re: [RCom-l] New research project: Anonymity and conformity over the net

Dear Dario Taraborelli & Aaron Halfaker, I would like to bring to your attention a new research project that i posted on Wikipedia. The page can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Anonymity_and_conformity_over_the_n… As i describe in the text the benefits for understanding the differences between complete anonymity, pseudonymity and when users use their emails can be tremendous for online communities and increasing collaboration. I also attach to this email a draft(which i haven't proof read yet so errors can be present) which contains a more rigorous presentation of the concepts. In fact this draft is the planned version that eventually after fixing will be send to the publisher of the journal. I need to note that the methods that i proposed are subject to change if they violate certain guidelines. Generally i will accept whatever changes you propose as long as they maintain the probability sampling method which is essential for better results. Since the survey has already been developed. I am providing you with two links(if you need more i can give you more) so that you can see it for yourselves and judge(hopefully with good comments but constructive criticism is more than welcome) :-) http://www.urcity.com/survey/index.php?user=17503006602 http://www.urcity.com/survey/index.php?user=45766208972 Thank you for taking the time to consider and i eagerly waiting to hear back from you :-) Best regards, Michail Tsikerdekis PhD student at Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics Brno, Czech Republic
