This task involves the work of doing an initial analysis to learn whether the frequency with which people visit Wikipedia serves as a meaningful distinction between various groups of readers.
=== Research Questions
- [ ] 1. Of the people who visit Wikipedia within a given week, what percentage of them visit with the following frequencies:
-- One time, on one day
-- One time, on multiple days
-- Multiple times, on a single day
-- Multiple times, on multiple days
-- One time, everyday
-- Multiple times, everyday
//Note: the frequencies above are very much a sketch. If you see others that might be more instructive to use, please use those! Also: we're limiting this initial research to a single week seeing as we do not **currently** have the tools/instrumentation necessary to confidently track individual readers over a longer timeframe.//
- [ ] 2. How – if at all – is the distribution "1." will have produced impacted when we limit visits that include clicks on/visits to //any// non-main namespace page/content?
=== Decisions To Be Made
Knowing the answer to the Research Questions above will help the [Core Experiences Product Group](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Core_Experiences) form a more accurate "mental model" for the quantitative characteristics that define and distinguish the various groups of Wikipedia readers we hypothesize there to be.
=== Assumption(s) to Be Investigated
The "Research Question" described above serves as an effort to understand the extent to which the following assumption holds true: **The frequency with which people visit Wikipedia is an effective way/dimension to identify various groups of readers.**
=== Background
This investigation emerged from within the [Journey Transitions Design Research Project](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LneMN9eVRNIF9eJxp4McKhb2NdaFcL5WwBXMN6PUiMw/edit) which seeks to:
1. Elucidate the key experiences that can cause people to deepen and expand their use of, and contributions to, Wikipedia
2. Identify the phases people travel through along their journeys to deepening and expanding their use of, and contributions to, Wikipedia
=== Done
- [ ] Answers to all "Research Question(s)" are documented
