== Background
The Readers team inResearch is interested in learning more about diversity within editing communities, in particularly gender diversity. We would like to identify whether there are qualitative differences between participants of different gender and, if possible, if this has any effects on their levels of participation. In particularthe editing communities, we are interested in the following questions:particularly gender diversity.
They'd like to identify whether there are qualitative differences between participants of different gender and, if possible if this has any effects on their levels of participation. - In particular, they'd like to answer the following questions:
- How does participation vary by project or by country?
- How does it vary by editing experience?
- - How does it vary by editing experience?in terms of time since first edit/registration?
In order to answer those questions, Research intends to target one or more surveys to users based in their location and by their edit count, which will require QuickSurveys' targetting to be updated.

1. [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/TEC9:_Address_Knowledge_Gaps | TEC9 ]], published 28th March, 2018, highlighted a need for "deep collaboration with teams in Audiences" (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/TEC9:_Address_Knowledge_Gaps#Dependences).
# @leila pinged @JKatzWMF (and mentioned @Jdlrobson) to discuss scheduling this work for Q2 FY2018-19 on September, 13th 2018 (T201707#4581861).
# The conversation around Output 1.3 of [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Annual_plan/2018-2019 | Communications' Every Human FY2018-19 program ]] was reinvigorated (?) by Communications in December, 2018 and then again in February, 2019.
