==WMF grantees of interest==
 
* Peter Gallert: Working on oral citation project in Namibia. Put him in touch with Adriel Luis of Smithsonian APAC, who is interested in an oral citation project for Asian-American immigrants.
 
* Amanda Menking: Doing a study on women's participation on Wikipedia. Put her in touch with Emily since their projects complement each other very well.
 
* Jethro (I JethroBT): "Reimagining Wikipedia Mentorship," changing how online training of Wikipedians happens. Wikimedia DC's activities should have a strong online complement, so this research is worth observing. We could also help with testing.
