We should get a proper sample from *readers*, not only active contributors who happen to be reading this list. We should not use such a non-wiki medium as Google Hangouts which is a participation barrier. We should not force people to do surveys.
I suggest we put a small feedback textbox in the sidebar of all Wikimedia projects, below everything above the langs list, and analyse output from that.
