Hi Samuel,
We have not discussed these ideas, but I think they sound wonderful and
are all interesting, and we can look into it to see how easy or
difficult it is to do a survey for sister projects or have a year-round
survey.

Thanks for the update, Mani.
Are we going to start running the equivalent surveys on the sister
projects? We have a fair bit of data about Wikipedia already,
comparative data from all projects would be useful. Most of the
questions would not change.
In addition to the time-limited study that's being conducted, is it
possible to have a simplified version of this survey running
continuously in the background - say for 1 in 100,000 visitors,
year-round? That sort of data stream could be very useful as an
addition to our current monthly reports.

Hello All,
We are in the process of fielding a survey of Wikipedia readers to
understand the needs of Wikipedia readers. The survey will get their
opinion on Wikipedia content, understand what are the barriers to
editing Wikipedia, understand how they use Internet, and get some
quantitative data on the experience of using Wikipedia on their phone.
This survey is being done in parallel to the Editor Survey, whose
results we are working currently analyzing and mobile user experience
research that we are conducting in India, Brazil and the US.
The draft of the survey, and a FAQ section is available on meta, if you
are interested. Here is the link to meta space that I have set up for
the survey.

Thanks in advance
