*“Wikipedia is a social network. You’d use it if a friend in the US was on
it and you wanted to connect with them.”*

Please join us NEXT WEDNESDAY September 28th to review the research
findings of the New Readers project. In this 1.5 hour presentation, we will

We will share discoveries from more than 5 months of research, including
phone surveys in 13 languages, and more than 150 in-person interviews.
