I don't have much time at the moment for a proper response, but I wanted to
point you to the Research Index on meta:

I've personally cataloged ongoing experiments in this space and reviewed
the work of others.

See also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Projects_reviewed_by_RCom and
check the talk pages for discussions.
