I was under the assumption we were talking about English Wikipedia. The
largest respondents in the survey you linked to are Russian, with a very
good mix of other languages and nationalities.

Just to clarify, 'we' would then include all languages and projects, readers
and editors. And your comment about Wikipedia growing up would apply to all
communities?
