The survey was designed specifically to avoid general statements. As you very well state yourself, general statements would be quite useless, and we want to know the underlying goal of the user. In the case you raise, what is the reason why you participate in a free content project? (you can answer off-list). I believe the answer would be one of those offered in the survey (but of course, I may be wrong). > * Then, no possibility to say that I am definitely not working on > "quality review, improvement & promotion of featured works"; just > "rarely"; as well as that I didn't upload any animation. I don't really see the difference from a design point of view. A similar concern I have heard is that some radio buttons should be non-mutually exclusive choices (e.g. for the "what is the main reason" questions). I agree it is more difficult with radio buttons, because we ask the user to actually think about what their priority is. But there again, it is more useful from a design point of view. One thing I realized, though, was that two questions had an ambiguous wording: people wonder why they have to give reasons for not using Commons, or not participating, despite the fact that they said they do. These questions should read « what is the main reason that limits or hinders your use/participation ». Unfortunately, we can't change the survey once it is running. > I really don't know which answers such survey is able to give? How > many Commons participants have less than 100 edits?

You're welcome to read the following pages: http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multimedia:Preliminary_user_research http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multimedia:Initial_survey I hope they will help you better understand the context of the survey. Thanks for your constructive feedback. We may continue the discussion off-list if you wish. -- Guillaume Paumier Product Manager, Multimedia Usability Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
