Hello! This page is to help gather Wikipedians, but not in the traditional style of a meetup. Our research group, from the University of Washington (Seattle campus), is looking to recruit 16-24 Wikipedians to attend a focus group. The purpose is to have you tell us what you would like to find out about fellow Wikipedians when interacting with them. We'll use your input to design a new application that will help you access this information. Our goal is to then give the code to the Wikipedia community to edit and tweak as you see fit.
The session will focus on these research questions:
- When interacting with other Wikipedians, perhaps on a discussion page, what information would you want to know about their other activities in Wikipedia?
- What would be the benefit of knowing that information?
Lively discussion encouraged! We are looking for people who have had at least one direct interaction on Wikipedia with another editor or just wanted to know more information about another editor with whom they might interact. If you have friends who are also editors, please pass the invitation on to them!
