My Purpose Here

edit

I'm currently a student at the University of Washington studying Informatics and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). I'm dabbling in Wikipedia to study and observe it's users while participating and observing myself because I am most curious about how users work together and how they respond to changes and other users. The end goal is to come up with a product idea to improve Wikipedia in some way. Personally I'm already leaning toward the formation of the talk pages :P but we'll see how it goes. This is also merely a class assignment and thus no users will be involved in any reports or any official documentation as I am not writing any and all of this is hypothetical.
