Community Survey 2018

INT Community Survey 2018

Some time ago we asked you to take a survey, what 97 users did. We are now analyzing the results and see what conclusions we can pull from the results. Some issues may already have been addressed by reforms we already made in the meantime. So here are the numbers:

I don't like how you have to request to be given a role that could completely be auto rolled using some bot.5
People are too sensitive, but that's everywhere.
I find the the system of the channels not right, theme/title and splits

Survey-Feedback (Free form)

I would change a few to let others know what some words means.

I would like see more branch relationship questions

If you would like to help translating or not.

There is no option for "Staff of the International Translation Archive"

General Feedback (Free form)

Claiming translations should be done on a page and not in a thread, it would be easier to search if someone is translating a specific article.

Create more cooperation between the branches.

Even if it is not connected, the relations with the British branch on common projects including the FP would be better consolidated.

I like it, because I can read some SCPs or tales from another languages that I can't understand. (French as example)

I think the branches should make more crossover

I would like to create a Romanian branch6

Maybe a guide with tips and advice on how to maintain a decent working schedule? Like, one translation per month or one review per week. Most could be how to use various tools and mnemonics to remember to work on a task every one in a while.

more branch connecting projects and interactions

My main preoccupation regarding -INT is the lack of discussions on the forum. I feel like it should be way more active than it is. Also, there are surprinsingly too few English users on the branch.

Footnotes

1. The average age of all participants is 20.7

2. ISCED 2011 levels, see also: International Standard Classification of Education

3. Two users chose two primary languages.

4. The highest number of languages spoken in total is 7 in one case O.O

5. Comment: The only role that has to be requested is the adult role, you usually are given the roles once a staff member notices you have joined and added a branch tag, which usually only takes a few minutes. Of course when you join when most staff is away or so, it may take longer.

6. We would love if you did, see the branch creation guide, or feel free to ask on our Discord or Forum for help :)
