Run a version of the reader survey on the Apps

Description

Event Timeline

Update: we are working on a few things now:

  • Josh has requested Legal for an update on privacy statement or an OK that we can use the old privacy statement.
  • Leila is working with Bob on the final question to be asked. In Apps, unlike mobile/desktop, we won't be able to show the card while the user is reading a specific article. This means that a different question should be asked. We expect two sets of surveys: 1) a question along the line of "why are you here today?" given that the user will be in Feed when they see the card, 2) (possible) a multiple choice questionnaire, after a taxonomy is built based on (1).

@JMinor @Dbrant You can find the finalized question at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaqvKojvyXGSewEZ395RPOQ6AcD3e87MZnh5pvO7phqqKwVg/viewform Please review and let me know if something needs to be changed. Feel free to submit test responses. The description in the Submit page needs to be updated once the privacy statement becomes available (in the next hours it seems).

@JMinor @Dbrant is there something I can do for this task? (just want to make sure you don't get blocked on me while I'm not aware of it.:)

Nope, think we just need to get final privacy statement. We started beta yesterday, so some test responses should be showing up soon-ish.

Final privacy statement:

@Fjalapeno on the next deploy can you update the privacy disclaimer and link with final versions approved by legal (see previous comment)?

@JMinor @Dbrant per the conversation just now between Josh and I, I broke the survey into two, to accommodate separating responses by os. Please update the codes accordingly.

@Fjalapeno see previous comment for final URLs. I'm assigning this over to you, since I think leila's part is done.

Per our email and meeting discussions the dates for this should be updated in the next MCS release

iOS should end at 12:00 AM UTC of December 8th
Android should start at 12:00 AM UTC of December 12th and end at 12:00 AM UTC December 15th

Also the main text should be updated to say "one question survey" rather than "three question survey".

@Dbrant it looks like the survey went online earlier? I see a lot of responses already for Android (~2700), and it looks like the start was around the 10th? We will receive way more than what we can handcode if we wait until December 15. Do you consider stopping the survey earlier than planned?

@leila Yes; we've just modified our announcement to end at EOD today. This is indeed a much greater volume of responses than I thought!
(The responses that you see prior to the 10th are from the Beta version of the app, which was deployed prior to the production version, and caught the tail-end of the previous un-finalized version of our announcement.)

@JMinor did you and Bernd got a chance to document the result of this study somewhere? It would be really helpful for the future generations if we don't lose what we learned. :)
