I'm Cormac Lawler: Cormaggio on various projects, Wikimedia and non-Wikimedia. I've been involved in researching Wikipedia as a learning community, specifically looking at interpersonal communication and conflict. I used this page in part for my dissertation (available on my en:wp user page), so that people could share their experiences of Wikipedia, like conflict, consensus, bias and neutrality, though it wasn't so active - this also fed into my Wikimania paper. See here (and it's talk page) for my initial research, which resulted in this paper. I'm interested in the Wikimedia Research Network, but more along sociological/educational, rather than technical, lines, particularly in the development of Wikiversity. Also see Research, Wikicensus and Wikidemia for details of how this research links in with what other people are doing. Currently I'm interested in researching the progress of Wikimedia UK, a Wikimedia local chapter, for my PhD (plan, blog). Please get in touch with ideas or comments via this page, my en: user page, or email, if you prefer.
