This past spring, we conducted a survey among Akvopedia users to better understand who is using the site, how they use it and why. This survey provided a sample to complement site metrics gathered by our web analytics system. You can read more about the thinking behind the survey [http://akvo.org/blog/9-questions-for-akvopedians/ here]. The survey was available on Akvopedia for roughly six weeks and, during that time, we had a total of 544 responses.
