Dear Community, 

We’ve announced this frequently in our last meetings and conversations and now, it’s the time! The content of the survey is finished, and we would like to share it with you. 

You can take it directly here, if you like.

⏪ We’ve noticed that we are not aware of all the different ways that Wikibase.cloud are currently being used. Different purposes, different user stories and different needs all come together in one product. How can we incorporate these different angles and build Wikibase.cloud to meet your needs? Inclusive of diverse levels of technical expertise and differing project scopes.

How do we go about this? 

⏸️ We set up a survey to learn how, why, and with whom you are using Wikibase.cloud. We hope that we will better understand how Wikibase.cloud is used along the spectrum of various user groups or individuals. There is space for your own elaborations as well, and we hope you will take the opportunity to share more nuanced, unique experiences with us there.

We’re sure it’s not the first time you’re being asked to provide your insight and experiences in yet another survey.  Is it promising enough to promise you that it’ll enhance your experience with Wikibase.cloud? 

⏩ With the insights from this survey, we hope to better identify the direction in which we should further develop Wikibase.cloud. In 2023, we want to give greater attention to lowering the barrier for people to explore the ecosystem and growing the community.

In doing so, we strive to find a balance between enhancing accessibility for underrepresented communities and knowledge, and ensuring that Wikibase.cloud meets the greatest needs for sharing open data. We hope this survey will help us get to know you, your challenges and needs better, to direct our next actions on behalf of these outcomes.

By the way: We intend to introduce these kinds of check-ins on a more regular basis, to continuously gather insights as the Wikibase.cloud community and user base grows.

We hope this motivates you to participate in this process!
