Hi all, we have just launched the Foundation's 2012 editor survey; with invitations to participate being shown to logged-in users on Wikipedia and Commons. A few quick facts about the survey (for more refer to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editor_Survey_2012 ): * This is the third survey of editors as envisaged in the Foundation's 2010-15 strategic plan "in order to take the pulse of the community and identify pressing issues or concerns", after the April 2011 and December 2011 surveys. * The first main purpose of this survey is to continue the work of the 2011 studies (conducted by Mani Pande and Ayush Khanna), with a focus on tracking changes since last year and identifying trends. Which is why many questions are being repeated from last time. * The second emphasis in this instance of the survey is to measure the satisfaction of the editing community with the work of the Wikimedia Foundation. * This is the first editor survey that includes a non-Wikipedia project (Commons, for the questions that are non Wikipedia-specific). * Thanks to everyone who commented on the draft questionnaire after we solicited feedback on this list and in and IRC office hour, as well as to those who commented about the last survey. We made several changes based on the feedback, and tried to reply to all concerns. * Also many thanks to all volunteer translators who reviewed or contributed translations; the questionnaire is available in 14 languages (Italian, Polish and Portuguese will launch a bit later). * As with the previous two surveys, the results will be published in the following forms: A "topline" report detailing the percentage of responses for each question, a series of posts on https://blog.wikimedia.org analyzing the results, and a data set consisting of anonymized responses which others can use to do their own analyses. This time we will also aim to produce language-specific topline reports (an approach we already tested for Chinese with the data from the December 2011 survey). -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
