Hello Franco (et al.),
this is certainly interesting work, but I think you've posted to the
wrong place :-)
Firstly, there is a dedicated research mailing list which is designed
to discuss and promote research in Wikimedia here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
You can find a list of people interested in research, and some
projects, on the meta page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research
Then there is the Wikimedia Research Network which is trying to
identify the needs of the Wikimedia project/community:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research_Network
I think that, if you are looking for collaborators, you could leave a
note on the respective talk pages. It could be down to individuals on
those pages, although there are a number of people potentially
interested and experienced in your field who aren't on those pages.
You don't necessarily have to repeat everything you've just written -
instead you could write a few lines and point people to your original
mail which is here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikimania-l/2005-September/000001.html
You could also try on-wiki notice boards like the village pump, eg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump
Hope this helps
Cormac
