Thinking about getting more data, the idea of a quuestionnaire seems apt. I tried this in year1 report2 with some success, and it doesn't take too much time to effect. Rather than ask for volunteers and then send them individual questionnaires this time I think I would just post it to the mailling list and gather up any public or private responses.
Plan
1) design some questions, draft the email.
eg Had you ever heard of a wiki before?
what do you think of the idea
Have you looked at it - if so how many pages?
have you made an edit yet?
if not yet - do you think you would ever edit it to make a correction or add some useful information perhaps?
Any suggestions
etc
2) Peer review, or prototype to make sure it makes sense.
3) choose a date - around March 1st.
The timing needs to allow for a fair number of people to have already looked at the wiki, but allow enough time to wait for responses and consider them in time for module due date.
4) Collect data and consider what it means
The Questionnaire will not be merely collecting data, but actively publicising and explaining the wiki, thus adding to the "Action" not just the enquiry.
