We could possible make a kind of code of conduct for survey researching the OSM community. That could very well be part of a project Frank, Peter and I are launching: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/42134" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>openstreetmap.org/user/joost%<wbr>20schouppe/diary/42134</a></div><div><br></div><div>I think it would be really helpful if we set up a survey engine under the wings of the OSMF. That would make it easier to re-use surveys and share experiences and data between researchers. Also we could include a review proces before launching the questionaire, so e.g. questions can be internationalized (even if this is not a priority for the researcher themselves).</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">2017-09-04 22:20 GMT+02:00 john whelan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jwhelan0112@gmail.com" target="_blank">jwhelan0112@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">At Statistics Canada they have a concept of respondent burden.
