Dear all,
as many of you know, we have started a survey on the motivation of
contributors to Wikipedia a week ago. So far, more than 150 participants
from more than 10 countries completed our online survey -- thanks a lot
to everyone!
The questionnaire will be available until August 3 at:
http://www.unipark.de/uc/wikipedia/
We would like to invite everybody who is involved in one or more
Wikipedia projects as contributors, sysops or in community discussions
to answer the survey. This will take about 20 minutes. The questionnaire
is in English, but participants from other Wikipedias are especially
invited to take part as well.
We are also glad that a number of people have linked to our survey from
their blogs or set links on prominent Wikipedia pages. We even have a
Wikipedia page ourselves now:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_W%C3%BCrzburg_survey%2…
To allow for reliable results, we hope that as many contributors as
possible complete the questionnaire. You would especially help us if you
could link to the survey from visible Wikipedia pages (e.g., community
pages or recent changes).
We would also be glad if you forward this e-mail to people who don't
regularly read this list.
