+We are excited to announce the launch of the scikit-learn user survey! Scikit-learn
+continues to evolve thanks to contributions from its diverse user community. As we 
+plan for future releases, we want to ensure we are focusing on what matters most to 
+you — our users.
+
+The goal of this survey is to better understand how users interact with the library, 
+identify any pain points, learn about the features you find most useful, and what’s 
+missing. This is your chance to have a say in how the library grows and adapts to meet 
+the evolving needs of the machine learning community.
+
+The survey will take about 15 minutes of your time. It is available in Arabic, French, 
+English, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, and Portuguese. You have the option to remain 
+completely anonymous, and the data collected will be used solely for the purpose of 
+improving scikit-learn.
+
+This user survey is a truly collaborative effort. We would like to thank the teams from 
+probabl, University of Oxford (UK), and POSSEE OpenTeams, as well as many scikit-learn 
+contributors, for their time and effort in designing and translating it.
+
+Once the survey closes, we’ll analyze the responses and publish the findings in a follow-up 
+blog post.
+
+To take the survey, visit: https://forms.gle/p5P7AweCJCbFMzfo6. The survey will remain open until 
+October 14th, 2024, and we encourage you to share it with your colleagues and extended network.
+
+We value every contribution in our community, and we’re committed to making scikit-learn even better. 
+Your feedback is the foundation upon which scikit-learn will continue to grow and evolve. We look 
+forward to hearing from you!
