Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation Research team [0] is committed to serving Wikimedia volunteer developers so that they can effectively leverage the expertise of the Wikimedia research community to contribute to Wikimedia projects. 

We refer to a Wikimedia volunteer developer as any person who contributes to a piece of software in the Wikimedia ecosystem, e.g., MediaWiki extensions, desktop and mobile apps and services, bots, PAWS notebooks, user scripts, etc. 

If you identify yourself as a Wikimedia volunteer developer, your participation in this brief survey [1] would be very relevant for our team to identify existing and suggested research needs and opportunities of the Wikimedia developer community. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kinneret Gordon, Pablo Aragón and Leila Zia

On behalf of the Wikimedia Research team
