WMUK membership survey - suggestions and comments

Hello everyone.

Wikimedia UK is in the process of designing and developing a survey of our members. A sensible approach is for us to speak with you all about the things that you are interested in, rather than what we think you might be interested in.

To this end, we'd like to hear your suggestions and comments. What would you like to tell us about? What kind of information would you like to share? About which areas of our work and our organisation do you have strong opinions?

Talk to us here. Thanks for your time. --Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 16:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Two surveys

I would like to suggest to cut the survey in two parts (not sure how that should happen technically, but it should come down to it that it is totally fine if you leave after part 1 and you can simply click 'i dont want to take part 2'.). The first part should be the default, easy to answer part. What do you think about the color of the walls in our office on a scale from 1 to 5, what would you feel if the chair would grow a moustache on a scale from 1 to 5 etc and what is your general satisfaction as a) a member 1-5, b) as a community member 1-5 and c) as a member of the general audience 1-5. Just a bunch of scaling questions where the main outcome is the average scores and distributions.

Part 2 would be more input questions. Questions that are designed to get intelligent and constructive feedback, things where one single answer is more important than the weighed average or even distribution. Where answers make you think, and realize that while he's the only one saying it, he has a darn good point (how would you like us to communicate with you, how can we make the impact we have on your community activities bigger, what are qualities you're currently missing in our staff and/or the board or how could we persuade you to candidate for the board).

Just a thought :) (oh, and some of the example questions above might actually be serious suggestions ;)). Lodewijk (talk) 00:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
