Re: [Wikitech-l] Research on newcomer experience - do we want to take part?
Hey Quim I also sent you this survey a week ago with the question whether we should participate :) D On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 5:13 PM, Quim Gil q...@wikimedia.org wrote: Hi, sorry for cross-replying.

Hello, Kevin Carillo[1] from University of Wellington is going to research Newcomer experience and contributor behavior in FOSS communities[2] So far Debian, GNOME, Gentoo, KDE, Mozilla, Ubuntu, NetBSD, OpenSUSE will be taken into account, and FreeBSD recently joined[3] and there is still some possibility for other large FOSS projects to join. I think it could fit nicely into our recent efforts directed at newcomer experience after Git migration. And MediaWiki is a bit different than above projects.
