Thank you for participating in the 2014 Global South User Survey!
Please share your thoughts with us: it should only take you about 15 minutes. We look forward to learning more about our users from countries in the global south. Your feedback on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects will be valuable to us: it will help us to understand the specific needs of local user communities in the global south, provide data that supports product development, and assist in guiding the process of the upcoming strategic planning.
Some legal stuff ...
By answering these questions, you permit us to record your responses and agree to donate them to the public domain. This allows us to freely share your answers with others for the purpose of open analysis, research, and study. We won't publicly share your name, address, phone number, or email except as required by law. (Our commitment assumes that you incorporate your personal information only in response to questions that explicitly ask for it.)
Thanks again for your feedback!
