Hi. I think it desirable to post this on Internal-L as well, at least for the first couple of issues, to get this concise information to many of our local Wikimedian communities. I expect there are quite a few people who could be interested in this, but currently aren't _aware_ of there being anything to be interested in... :)
(Maybe also add an explicit invitation to join the Research community and to look at relevant Meta pages.)
