TODO
edit- what percent of users on different Wikipedias have verified email addresses? [will be figured out by someone at the Foundation]
- transport part of SRAG discussion to Meta [Aaron and Dario]
- thought is that we might not want to include the bot, because there might be better ways to communicate, such as email or banners
- proposal for banner, that would have some stats sampling sensitivity [Mani is working on this within the Foundation]
- sample by editor experience, interest, ... [John]
Other Ideas
- Goal is to have researchers accept some bureaucracy in trade for getting much more power in sampling
- perhaps use banners that would be sensitive to the number of page views that users do
- long-term perhaps a goal for having users express broader information about themselves and have that information within a database that can be used for selection
