[Wikimedia-l] Upcoming Survey, Feedback requested, and Office Hour

[Jan-Bart de Vreede]

Hey

So I might have missed some mails on this thread (perhaps because they were not posted on this public list) but I highly doubt that Sue perform surveys that do not have a real-world impact on our operations. I know that the results of the previous surveys were used in several discussions (including at a board level) in order to provide more insight….

On the other hand, using these surveys to gain more insight is not the same as using them to "hold each other accountable" which is sometimes easy to do. Every survey (and questions) has a lots of interpretation magic which can easily lead you astray, but I don't have to tell you (the community) this :)
