Hi all,


Wikimédia France, a non-profit organization supporting Wikimedia projects
in France, is launching an international research prize to reward the most
influential research work on Wikimedia projects and free knowledge projects
in general.

What is quite new about this award is that everyone can participate:

   1. by ranking nominated papers to elect the winner (ranking is shared
   with the award jury).
   2. by submitting important articles in this field of research for the
   Award.

Regarding the latter, we are now in the process of proposing papers and
we'd appreciate if some of you can lend a hand. If you consider a paper has
been particularly important in the field of free knowledge/Wikipedia
studies and must be taken into account, do not hesitate to submit it now!

Please use this form:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award/papers_submission.
Deadline for paper suggestion is August 1st.


After that, the next phase is shortlisting nominated papers. The Wikimedia
Award Jury will study all proposed papers to submit 5 papers to the final
vote in September. The announcement of the winner is planned in November.

Please find all details here:
