I think he's in a somewhat unique position to be able to talk with
authority about both the technology and cultural aspects of Wikipedia
(http://domasmituzas.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/velocity2008-wikipedia.pdf).
  I think that if people are going to do effective research on
Wikipedia, they clearly need to take both of these aspects into
account.  Finally, he's attended Wikimania with a "troll" badge for
some years and I think should be invited to make an appearance at
WikiSym in the same capacity.  The research community would benefit
from this sort of jester-like wit as much or more than the mainstream
Wikistas.
