General overview edit

Wikigraphists Bootcamp was organised to train the Wikimedians in and around India on vector graphics by using Inkscape to work with SVG files. Post 6-month after Wikigraphists Bootcamp a follow-up survey was conducted to understand the impact of the program, and to explore further training needed to the participants. This survey was conducted after the the SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India which was conducted to create awareness of importance of Vector graphics in Wikimedia projects to community members in India.

The surveys were conducted by User:Gnoeee and User:KCVelaga, with the support from User:RMaung (WMF), Lindsay Anderson, and User:CAlmog (WMF).

Notes:

Fifteen out of the twenty-five participants responded to the survey form.
Though the synthesis of responses to the survey form was intended to be anonymous, we would like to acknowledge the efforts of the following users as a whole for taking time to fill up the survey form. Users: KCVelaga, Suyash.dwivedi, Sushant savla, Jinoytommanjaly, Ananth subray, Indrajitdas, Saumyaanaidu, Jayprakash12345, Marajozkee, Sumita Roy Dutta, Atudu, Shypoetess, Rehman, Satdeep Gill and Manavpreet Kaur.
Please note that not all the points from the responses have been listed here, but only the ones which seem to add the report and contribute to the overall learning. These may (but not limited to) include the points that have already been covered in one of the above sections, or responses that were close to binary for further intrepretation.
