Update on How the 2021 Survey is Going

Posted by apm-wa on 22 January 2021 in English.

At the moment, after 5-1/2 days, we have 1496 responses, of which 1116 are “full”, meaning they include demographic data that will allow us to do some cross-sectional analysis (almost 29% of respondents decline to provide demographic data). But keep spreading the word. We have 16 languages available: (English, Chinese (Traditional; Taiwan), French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese). If you know of a group that needs another language and can link me with someone to translate the questionnaire, please do so! I have become adept at copying and pasting languages I don’t understand into Lime Survey.

We needed 1067 respondents to achieve a 3% error term at the 95% confidence level, but now I’d like for us to push for a 2% error term. As you all know, the larger the sample, the more accurate the estimates, and the wider we cast our net, the less the selection bias. For that we need 4160 respondents. We have three weeks left in the survey so it is possible if we continue to spread the word. Please help! The URL is https://osmf.limequery.org/281662 Please spread the word in whatever other languages you can, please encourage OSMers to participate, please use all available communication channels to reach as many corners of the OSMverse as you can!

I have little propensity to start a survey when I don’t know what it is about. Nevertheless, because it is you who asked I started it. The link that I received in an email does not work.

It did not work because links in the Junk folder do not work.

How do I get rid of the ad in the OSM Explorer ?

The Board doesn’t maintain OSM Explorer. You’ll have to ask the maintainer. You can put in a pull request here: https://github.com/onkaraman/osm-explorer

Thanks for taking the survey! Yeah, links in the Junk folder are disabled by just about all email clients now.
