Looking ahead to recommendations: Ask Wikimedia to commit to more data collection
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Task force/Community Health
Most strongly agree. I've been arguing for a global Wikimedia survey since 2005; we finally got one in 2008 and that's it :( And even the data from it, as far as I know, is still not available to other researchers (despite some early promises). We need a regular set of yearly surveys, with data available to interested researches and a way for the community to propose questions to be asked, and a way to do other, more specific surveys when need arises (like Proposal:Survey Former users). --Piotrus 20:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
