After years of campaigning for a General User Survey, finally we get something similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SURVEY
I am glad somebody didn't forget about copyright: "UNU-Merit will make anonymized research data available under the CC-BY license, and its own analysis under the CC-BY-SA license. Results will be publicized both on the Wikimedia blog and on the foundation-l mailing list."
I am looking forward to the results, and I expect all of the readers of this listserv will fill in the survey :)
Disclaimer: I am not associated with UNU-Merit and had and have nothing to do with this survey (but I tried to keep Meta:GUS alive and sympathize with the new survey).

And I would not mind if you *were* associated. :-)
Indeed, the survey is important and we all hope that many Wikimedians answer.
Does anybody know how long the survey will take, and when the results are going to be published?

We're going to run it at least until next Monday, to have both weekend and non-weekend users. We hope to have first results within 8 weeks from then.
