First data from Wikipedia survey published

I apologize that this took so long; the survey team spent a lot of
time cleaning up the very large number of responses that they
received. But we're sharing now with their permission the first
preliminary results from the Wikipedia survey of readers and
contributors last year:

http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/04/16/first-preliminary-results-from-unu-merit-survey-of-wikipedia-readers-and-contributors-available/

Use with caution as it's still preliminary, but hopefully already
gives a first snapshot of the key findings. Breakdown by languages is
one of the next key priorities. They've committed to frequent updates
now that the data is ready for analysis.

Enjoy!
Erik

Erik,

Congratulations! The results of this survey will be very useful for all of
us. Could you please answer a couple of questions:

- Can they/you/we "wiki" the results on Meta?
- When will the data become available for the community?

Thanks,
Thomas

I don't think there's any problem with wikifying what's released now,
but I've forwarded your inquiry to them as well. I think the only
concern is that the current analysis is still preliminary so shouldn't
be considered "the results", but a first overview of some selected
data. More analysis will follow incrementally, followed by a research
paper. After that the team will carefully anonymize the data and make
it available under CC-BY. My understanding is that the timeline is
roughly as follows:

April to July: incremental publication of preliminary analysis
Summer: publication of research paper
Fall: publication of anonymized data under CC-BY.

HTH,
Erik
