Dear Wikipedia data/API user,
The WMF’s Engineering, Product and Partnerships teams are conducting a short survey to help us understand how organizations are pulling and using data from our projects. This information will inform future features and improvements to our data tools and APIs.
We would appreciate a few minutes of your time. The link to the Survey below will take you to a Google Form - there is no need to sign up to fill out the survey. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes.

Thank you for your input and feedback!
Warm wishes,
Sylvia
PS-- Apologies for the cross posting, you might see this note on a couple of other lists.

I heard from Sylvia this week that we got a grand total of ONE response from the mailing list postings of this survey. If any of you saw this request the first time around and thought you might have useful input but just didn't get around to filling out the survey I would encourage you to take 10 minutes and do so now.
The questions are very high level and open ended but primarily are seeking to get an overview of how dumps, the action api, irc edit notifications, rcstream and other tools and services that the Wikimedia Foundation or others provide to allow off-wiki access to the Wikimedia community created and curated content are used. One of the hoped for outcomes of this and related surveys is guidance for the Wikimedia Foundation on areas that deserve increased focus in the future.

Bryan, did you consider looking into the bug tracker for open issues and suggestions?
I d find an ongoing focus on interfacing much more valuable and agile than do one survey. This means clearly publish the interfaces and the way how to handle imperfections.
