WORKING VERSION:

Workshop agenda (70 minutes)

In the previous talk "The State of Wikimedia Scholarship 2011-2012" on Thursday (the first Wikimania day), Mako Hill will present a review of the research itself. In this workshop, instead of presenting the "research content" itself, we will address the question of the relationship between Wikipedia and Research, and the role of he Research Committe.

Moderator: Mayo Fuster Morell

Interventions:

Brief presentation of the Rcom members. If there is not too many people, we will do a round presentation of everybody.
The relationship between Wikipedia and Research: The state of the debate and identify possible next steps/horizons.
General update on Rcom (its origin and goal, resources provided and what has achieved so far), and presentation of specific areas of Rcom work:
- Tilman Bayer on Rcom newsletter
- Daniel Mietchen on the Open access developments (slides) >>> Input for the talk: talk from last year
Q&A.
Discussion to rethink Rcom functioning, goal and plan for next year.
