[R] Academic studies over R-Help

[Carlos Gomez]

Dear r-help mailing list,

Some colleagues and I are working on a series of research studies related
to mailing list, and Stack Overflow. While I do understand that this email
would be technically off topic - it's about a study that could involve
R-Help users - not about coding in R. I was wondering:

 - to what extent would you be interested in participate in academic studies?

 - under what circumstances would you be willing to participate in
interviews, user surveys, lab experiments or any other activity related
to academic research?

 - Which communication channels do you think are the appropriate to send
these kind of announcements? (if any)

So, before upsetting the entire community (if this email is not doing that
already), I will prefer to ask about it.

Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards,
Carlos Gomez
