A theme run by the eScience Institute in Edinburgh may be of interest to subscribers. They have a number of initiatives coming up including a user-engagement workshop to be held in Jan/Feb of 2010.

"The number of Web 2.0 services and applications, widely used by Internet users, academics, industry and enterprise, are growing rapidly, which demonstrates its solid foundations. These technologies and services are based on the open standards that underpin the Internet and Web, and are used in many forms, e.g. blogs, wikis, mashups, social websites, podcasting and content tagging. This field is having a significant impact on distributed infrastructure and applications, and on the way users and developers interact.

This theme is looking at the impact and influence of Web 2.0 on e-Research infrastructure, services, applications and users". http://research3.org/
