Question design. The questions from this survey came from various Wikimedia Foundation teams, who submitted their questions through a proposal process. Teams were encouraged to focus their questions based on their long-term goals and their existing programs. Thirteen teams participated and the survey contained 260 questions that were divided among multiple audiences. The questions aimed at learning information about the following goals: Growing Wikimedia communities Improving community health Improving collaboration and communications Improving software for contributors Increasing software awareness and use Improving information sharing for program leaders and affiliates Developing the capacity of affiliates and program leaders Improving access to research materials by contributors Improving understanding of movement fundraising and fundraising needs Increasing awareness of GLAM and Libraries Increasing knowledge and capacity related to policy issues

Data collection. The survey reached out to five audiences, which included very active editors (100 edits), Active editors (5 to 100 edits), Wikimedia Affiliates, Program leaders, Technical contributors (volunteer developers). The sampling strategy for this survey was to sample editors several language Wikipedia projects, as well as Wikimedia commons, wikidata and other wikimedia projects. In addition to editors, we reached out to volunteer developers through mailing lists as well as program leaders and Wikimedia affiliates through known contacts. We sampled all editors who edited wikipedia from December 2015 through December 2016, with a total population of about 132,500 editors. The questions were translated into 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Ukrainian.

Analysis. The analysis you will find in this report is fairly basic and descriptive. The volume of data makes it difficult to dig into specific research question. Furthermore, each Foundation team has their own specific questions they needed answered. Teams are being asked to reflect on their results and publish their findings and actions in their individual reports. The raw data will be made available at a later date for use for researchers and others.
