Hi all, I just want to +1 Siko's comment here. I'm on IEGCom and I pay attention to discussions on proposal talk pages and in the endorsement sections. Your input makes a difference.
Thanks, Pine Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:08:29 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Funding research proposals - your input requested by 20 April Hi researchers, Some projects that may be of interest to you are currently proposed for Individual Engagement Grants (IEG).[1] Your input is very welcome to help us decide which projects to fund. Please share any comments/questions/feedback you have directly on a proposal's talk page by April 20 2014. There are 4 research proposals:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Co-Location_Impact_Study https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_and_Wikipedia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Optimizing_Wikimedia_Category_Systems._Phase_1,_Understanding_the_English_Wikipedia_Category_System https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/The_use_of_Wikipedia_by_doctors_for_their_information_needs Why you might want to give input: *We want to encourage research that forwards the movement's ability to solve key problems, and so do you. *Questions and suggestions from people with some related expertise helps improve these projects. *Your comments provide the IEG committee with additional perspectives when they are scoring proposals and making recommendations to WMF starting in late April. *If key questions from potential stakeholders can be publicly addressed before a proposal gets to the WMF approvals stage in May, that saves everyone's time and energy and helps us fund better projects :) Thanks, Siko [1] All proposals are listed here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-join -- Siko Bouterse Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
