[Translators-l] Wikipedia Editors Survey 2011

[Mani Pande]

We are going to anonymize the responses so individual responses are not 
associated with individual respondents.  The foundation is committed to 
the privacy of the respondents, and believes that protecting the privacy 
of its users and survey respondents is of utmost importance.
