Glad to see you onboard.* Ori's also been a Wikimedian since 2005, with a healthy body of contributions to English Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, and Commons (among others). :-) Ori joining WMF is really fantastic news from where I'm sitting, because it means that the experiments team will be able to start expanding our scope. If you'd like to see where we're at and contribute to our idea backlog, there are docs on: - Meta (research-oriented mostly): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement_Experiments - English Wikipedia (includes an FAQ): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_engagement_experiments Welcome Ori. It's awesome to have you on board! Steven _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
