Percentages were removed.
@SSethi (WMF) I mentioned this briefly but wanted to log it: Looking at User:SSethi (WMF)/New Developers Quarterly Report (July - September 2017)#Contributions :
As this is a multiselect option, you and I know that 9 developers checked a total of 31 checkboxes, so you calculate 100/31*6. But nobody else knows that number '31'. Hence I only know that 9 people replied in total (=100%), and 6 people out of those 9 said they 'fix bugs'. And that is not 19.35% but 66.67%?
I had added this text earlier "Participants could select more than one option," I thought it was sufficient but may be not?
@ SSethi (WMF) If no readers (apart from you and me) know that the magic number is 31 this chart might become one of the greatest unresolved mysteries of... ah well, if 6 out of 9 people say "Yes I do X" to answer X, that answer X got 66.67%. Regardless of some hidden dependency on the popularity of saying "Yes I also do Y" to answer Y. Multi-option in my understanding means that the sum must be ≥100%.
I agree that this is confusing. For instance, "35.48% of respondents of this survey said they fix or report bugs"... is this really true? They could also be 19%, with people clicking both options. I would remove percentages altogether. They don't tell much anyway.
I would also remove percentages in "Challenges" and "Experience...". When the total universe is 9 people, talking about "55.65%" or "33.33%" feels odd. "Motivations" keeps the points in a more generic way, and that sounds more frank and humble.
Added an additional column "Count" in "Types of Contributions" that helps explain why the total count of responses=31 when n=9. Removed percentages in "Challenges" and "Experience".
