Hey Milos,
Just wanted to let you know about the research that just wrapped up in India as a part of the New Readers project [1].
A team of staff and external researchers actually spent the last couple of weeks in Delhi and Chennai gathering data in India through intensive on-the-ground research. The research was largely focused on people who are not yet editors (or even necessarily readers) of our projects so that we can understand how people approach knowledge, learning, the internet, etc..
We also actively sought out meetings with community members in India while the team was there, and are looking forward to continuing to connect now that the team is back home.
This follows similar endeavors in Nigeria and Mexico, which have already led to some really interesting insights that'll help to shape how the Foundation operates within similar markets.
All of the research is currently being analyzed and the findings will be shared in the next few months (WMF Q1) along with as much of the raw data as possible.
We know how important India is, and also how large a challenge it'll be to fully understand and work with users (and prospective users) there. This research project will provide a good foundation for further work and outreach in India and similarly complex regions.
Best, Anne

On the rest: being defensive is not useful; being constructive is.
I don't see anything in this thread that looks defensive; what I see (and thoroughly agree with) is a request to more clearly define the problem.
I'd
add that some clarity around who "we" are who should do something --
which
might be several categories of "we" for different kinds of actions --
would
help, as well.
I didn't say Risker is, for example, defensive; I said Asaf is defensive.
If you have enough information on the issue, constructive approach is not to pretend to ask for more information, but to talk about what you know.
