Sometimes it's good to keep it vague -- to get people's opinions on
their own activity.  Isn't the survey trying to gauge
Commons participation and any barriers to it?  If people feel they
contribute very frequently to Commons, their participation isn't
really hindered that much.

They all say "look for media files", it's asking what your main goal
is in reusing photos already there.  Uploading new files doesn't
really fit into the question.
