User Group
Survey-RO contacted WMF and the South African Chapter for guidance on
developing a survey to send out to our users. WMF has a survey question
bank. We just need to decide what we want to learn. Some of the questions
we will ask include general demographics, knowledge and use of Vicipéid,
what activities they are interested in attending, knowledge of the group
and our activities. RO will look at the survey bank and see if she can
develop a survey for us.
