Hi Daniel, Glad to hear of your enthusiasm, and sorry to hear you won't be able to attend. In terms of remote participation, I have a couple of suggestions. 1. Before the workshop, we'd love to hear any thoughts you might have. Do you have time to briefly write up problems, solutions, observations, etc. that you see in this space? If so, you could e-mail those to Phoebe and myself; I'm sure they would be helpful in guiding the discussion. 2. One of the products of the workshop will be proposals for what do to moving forward, for the community to consider, develop further, and perhaps implement. We will publish and announce here. These will necessarily include a strong, if not exclusive, online component. I don't know what this will look like, but I'm sure there will be a great need for participation by folks like yourself. I think we do not have the infrastructure to offer meaningful remote live participation during the actual workshop, sadly. We might be able to do stuff like liveblogging or tweeting. I'll talk with Phoebe. HTH, Reid ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
Re: [Wiki-research-l] Wikimedia Research Newsletter launched
Hi. I think it desirable to post this on Internal-L as well, at least for the first couple of issues, to get this concise information to many of our local Wikimedian communities. I expect there are quite a few people who could be interested in this, but currently aren't _aware_ of there being anything to be interested in... :) (Maybe also add an explicit invitation to join the Research community and to look at relevant Meta pages.)
