[Wikimedia-l] draft revised volunteer community survey

2014-03-12 Thread James Salsman
In order to address issues with previous volunteer community surveys
which may not have included options able to maximize volunteer
attraction and retention, I have drafted a revised volunteer community
survey which includes new items and top-scoring components of the
previous community survey:

http://demochoice.org/dcballot.php?poll=wmfcsdraft

It is in English only at present. Translations and other
internationalization of the responses are most welcome, because at
least a few are overly US-specific at present. The draft version will
accept responses from anyone for two weeks. The Foundation can select
a random sample of long-term volunteers from email registrations.
Alternatively, recent changes can be used in conjunction with editor
histories for random samples which volunteers could use to confirm
official results as a matter of best practices, or if the Foundation
fails to act.

A detailed rationale for this revision is at:

Best regards,
James Salsman
