Hi Daniel,

thanks for your work on this! Could it be clarified whether "research"
in this context means

1. research about Wikipedia (and other Wikimedia projects) as
published in the academic literature or by Wikimedia volunteers, WMF
staff etc., or

2. research in general (about everything), as covered on Wikimedia
projects -in particular, Wikipedia as an outreach medium for science,
researchers as expert contributors, etc.?

From the proposed guest speaker list and the "What we would like to
learn/teach" sections, I assume that 2. is meant. There's an
intersection area with 1. of course, but it's relatively small in my
experience. Both are very important topics of course, so it might be
worth creating a separate track for 1.

(I also posted this on the talk page, so feel free to reply there instead.)
