I read the page with interest, though I confess that I have no read the entire site :)
Help me, though. WikiMedia is not WikiPedia. The former is a foundation and the latter a specific entity it happens to own. The survey talks about the P in Pedia, not the M in Media. I know how to use a wiki. I know how to collaborate, should I choose, with the M in Media. but what interests me is how, as the survey asks, people use WikiPedia.
