Hi Kerry, Cool initiative. But then I expect nothing less from Ijon.
I probably don't have to time perform additional analysis, unless it's a project I'm supporting on a volunteer basis. But one thing I do have time for is leading more SQL tutorials[1] to teach more people how to ask and answer questions with Wikimedia data. Always happy to set up a webinar. I can also advise on sampling and other methodological considerations, and *may* be able to help with gathering data in some cases. Ping me as needed.
