Hey All--
Last year, a volunteer did a lot of work for a planned 2009 Fundraising Survey (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2009/Survey). We put the project on hold as it ran up against the 2009 Annual Fundraiser.
We have revived the survey with help from Fenton and SeaChange, our communications partners. The new survey page is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Survey and will incorporate some of last year's work as well as some newer areas of research.
We're specifically interested in hearing your thoughts on subject areas about our donors you might be interested in, for example the things you'd like to know about our growing donor base. Our plan is to use the survey to build on our basic knowledge of our donors, including perspectives on the campaign itself.
As always, your participation is welcome.
We expect the survey to launch via email to our donors in late April or May.
Thanks.
Rand
It's great to see this back underway. What was the three-day online focus group like?
I would be particularly interested in data such as
First awareness - when did donors first hear about wikipedia / first use the project? - when did they find out that it was run by a non-profit? - when did they find out that it was publicly editable? - when did they discover: -- article talk pages? the history tab? -- recent changes?
Sharing knowledge - do they talk to others about Wikipedia? - do they use Wikipedia at school or work? - besides Wikipedia, what other online sites do they use to share knowledge, and what sorts of things do they write/photograph/record? (flickr, youtube, twitter, google docs, wiktionary, wikitravel, wikia, freebase, openstreetmap, &c)
Participation - have they ever edited? what do they think of the editing process? - have they ever uploaded a photo or video? what do they think of the upload process? - have they donated before? - have they submitted ideas or suggestions? (if asked, it would be handy to add a link to a way to do so :)
