Hello everyone,

The results of the survey have now been published, canonically on
LessWrong:
http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/nru/wikipedia_usage_survey_results/

I have also updated the project page,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_usage_survey , to mark
it as complete.

Best,
Issa
