Hi Leila, Glad we were thinking along similar lines!
*>> Nate: what do you consider as good outcomes out of different Wikimediasessions the research community can (co-)organize?* We have some ideas and would love to hear other people's thoughts. Having received a grant <https://citizensandtech.org/2021/02/new-funding-new-hires/> to support research together with Wikipedia communities over the next three years, we have several goals for the next few months, and we're still deciding how well Wikimania is the right place for them: - Gathering with Wikipedians to *discuss research ideas/agendas* (unclear if the new Wikimania format would work for this) - *Convening researchers* to discuss possible questions and research approaches (maybe?) - Discussing *best practices for community outreach, co-design, and approval/consent* with intervention research (this might be especially valuable) - *Sharing research insights into other parts of Wikimania* (would love to help here, especially since we have a number of new results coming out, but unsure how it would work without tracks in the same way?)
