Hi Edward,
Thanks for this publication. This research is likely to be of interest to the WikimediaAnnounce-l (and by extension, Wikimedia-l) and Wikitech-l subscribers, so I suggest that you cross-post this publication to those lists.
After reading this report, I have a question which may be challenging to answer: what should we do to improve our diversity? Many of us, inside and outside of WMF, have wanted to see progress on diversity metrics for years, and I get the impression that while significant attention and resources are being given to diversity, our progress has been disappointing. Perhaps that's a subject that can be discussed further during the video presentation, but I'd also be interested in hearing your comments here on Research-l.
Have a good weekend,

Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share that our annual survey about Wikimedia communities is now published!
This survey included 170 questions and reaches over 4,000 community members across four audiences: Contributors, Affiliate organizers, Program Organizers, and Volunteer Developers. This survey helps us hear from the experience of Wikimedians from across the movement so that teams are able to use community feedback in their planning and their work. This survey also helps us learn about long term changes in communities, such as community health or demographics.
The report is available on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement_Insights/2018_Report
For this survey, we worked with 11 teams to develop the questions. Once the results were analyzed, we spent time with each team to help them understand their results. Most teams have already identified how they will use the results to help improve their work to support you.
The report could be useful for your work in the Wikimedia movement as well! What are you learning from the data? Take some time to read the report and share your feedback on the talk pages. We have also published a blog that you can read.[1]
We are hosting a livestream presentation[2] on September 20 at 1600 UTC. Hope to see you there!
Feel free to email me directly with any questions.
All the best, Edward
