Wikimedia Foundation (the organization behind Wikipedia) is trying to
understand why academics are reluctant to contribute to Wikipedia. There
is a survey (http://survey.nitens.org/?sid=21693) and a recent press
article
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/mar/29/wikipedia-survey-academic-contributions)
that may be of interest to our list readers.
