It might be good as well to post a link to this survey for a few days on the homepage of the site. By mostly advertising on the mailing list, you're basically talking to admins and policy nerds. Lots of people don't pay any attention to us, they just use the site and laugh at all our hand-wringing, I think. :-)

Dear Wikipedians,

We have been getting great responses to our online survey of Wikipedia use and we would like to compile the results and share them with you. Even though the survey is anonymous, we would still only show numerical averages of people's responses. For privacy reasons we would not show anyone's long answers.

Would a page on Meta-Wikipedia be a good option for sharing the results with the community?

If you haven't taken the survey yet, please do so, we're still gathering data!http://smg.media.mit.edu/survey/wikipedia.html

If you have already taken the survey, our many thanks for your participation.
