>> I am hoping to test the survey on two important criteria:
>> 1. Timing: Please take the survey without any interruptions, and give us an
>> estimate of how long it took to complete the survey. In English, it takes
>> about 20 minutes to complete the survey.
>> 2. Language: Are the questions easy to understand? I would like to make sure
>> that the questions are valid in the local cultural context. Is the

>>
>> We will close the test on April 13, Wednesday at 12.00 PM (PST). Please send
>> your feedback to me at mpande at wikimedia.org till Wednesday.

>> Thanks in advance
