1) Diagramming a Wikipedia page, understanding the degrees of freedom offered on the surface (the content pages themselves) and in the subsurface (the underlying discussion/history pages).
2) Understanding the Wikipedia community in terms profiles, relationships, hierarchies, definitions - the Edit Wars and the politic of Wikipedia.
3) Specific interventions - understand the implication of the beans-up-the-nose warning - and the ethical considerations of flamers - is it possible to fold Wikipedia back on itself without engaging in a useless expenditure of "energy." I'd like to push the limits of content embedding in Wikipedia, see what is retained, what gets pulled down. But I also don't want to engage in gratuitous disruption, to "wildly de-stratify" the construct, that seems utterly counterproductive. Sock puppets, Trolls, Vandals, Self-Promoters, these are useful examples, perhaps all the more useful when transfered to other venues, but in the context of Wikipedia they seem a bit played-out.
4) Tracking specific webpages - both created and existing - visualizing change through animation/video of refresh screenshots.
* this is an evolving post, directed at friday's review, and an overall effort to coalesce the research strings into a venue and a directive for design.
