We (UNU MERIT CCG) released the first overview results from the Wikipedia survey today. Erik Moeller has a longer blog-post about the survey and the data. He calls it a “landmark moment”. :-)

Running a survey in 20 languages is not a trivial feat, and some of the people behind the scenes without whom this would not have been possible are listed below. They are members of the Wikipedia community and volunteered their time to translate a long (loooooooooooong) survey into a potpourri of world languages. Thank you! (I don’t have URLs for any of them, so if you are in this list, and would like a link to your blog or home-page, send me an email).
