Hey, you should offer the EFA interview as a distinct file.

Yes, it is rather unusual to put it in the middle of the podcast I admit. Perhaps we can break it out into a special episode in order to make it more accessible to folks.

Hi. I was hoping in an upcoming episode you might (even briefly) mention a discussion that’s ongoing on wiki-research-l on the protocol for contacting Wikipedians for research. You touched on this briefly with survey results and may have in the past as well. This seems to be something that is really going to continue to simmer on Wikipedia. Maybe if we came up with some best practices it would save a lot of people (researchers and researched) some grief and lead to more productive findings. Andrew and Liam, as two who have both done research on the community, I think your insights would be invaluable. Anyway, keep up the important work.
