Greetings fellow [Wiki-research-l] subscribers,
I just wanted to notify everyone of the new "flow funding" initiative
[1] in which I am participating. Essentially, the program decentralizes
the grant process for small amounts (<$2000), giving plentiful
discretion to individual "flow funders" (i.e., myself and others).
Since my interests tend to be research-based; pertaining to quantitative
methods, wiki security, and editing tools (as opposed to say, local
meetups and community organizing) -- I thought some others on the list
might have some proposals that fall within my scope.
I imagined a grant of this size might be useful -- for example -- in the
context of a Senior/Summer project; financing computing resources or a
corpus labeling task to MTurk. The project is in its pilot stages, so we
encourage ideas that test/stretch our current expectations.
To submit an idea my way, visit [2]. The main portal [1] also lists the
other members who might entertain your ideas.
Thanks, -AW
