Amruta is a Graduate Researcher at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA.

I am currently (as of February 2005) taking a class on " Designing Online Communities (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2005/cs6470_spring/)". The class is taught by Prof. Amy Bruckman (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~asb/). As a part of this class, i am conducting a study of the Wikipedia community.

I am working with two other colleagues at Georgia Tech. Our study of Wikipedia is part of an overall research project studying several online communities. The project includes observant participation in the Wikipedia community as well as interviews with Wikipedians.

If you would like to be a part of this study, you are welcomed to participate as an interviewee. Your privacy and rights as a participant are very important to me, and you are required to read the Consent Form (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2005/cs6470_spring/researchstudy/webconsent_wikipedia_study1.html) carefully. If you agree to participate, please check out the appropriate option at the bottom of the form and email it. You can also contact me at wikipedia_study1@cc.gatech.edu, which is the official GATECH email address for this study.

If you indicate on the consent form that you are willing to participate, a member of the research team will contact you to arrange an interview at your convenience.

You can also email me at amruta@cc.gatech.edu for further information.
