[Wikimediaindia-l] Why do new users create accounts on Wikipedia?

[BalaSundaraRaman]

Lennart is organising a survey to understand why users register in Wikipedia at 
all.
During the first phase, English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish, Bengali and 
Bahasa Melayu are targetted.
Some preliminary results are given at:

It would be nice if we can localise the survey and run it in most of our 
wikipedias. If anybody wants to volunteer to localise the survey, please get in 
touch with Lennart (copied) or drop a message in the talk page above.

 "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for 
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture
