A new data/research infrastructure for Wikimedia

"The Wikimedia Foundation has some ambitious new plans to improve and redesign its data and research infrastructure and we would like you to get involved....We believe that publishing and sharing the data we collect under open licenses, while respecting the privacy of our editor community, is consistent with our mission. We are working to create a public repository of open data to allow researchers and third-party services to access, share and remix data from our projects and communities and accelerate discovery....We would like to hear from you as to what data we should collect, host and republish (on top of the public datasets that we are already making available) as well as the technical and computational requirements that would allow you to use these data to build cool applications and run new research...."
