baseline data for these types of surveys.<br><br>I'm thinking of tools
used to add data. Streetcomplete, JOSM, iD, potlatch, the reason is the
"Skill" level needed to use the tool. ie since x% of edits are made by
streetcomplete you may not need a PhD in cartography to add to the
project.<br><br>I don't know if we record the Internet address of
contributors and I wouldn't like to see the full address being made
available but a country code might be useful.<br><br>Also the average
life of a contributor. I think we see some who contribute once to six
times then disappear and that means they aren't available to survey. <br><br>Making
this information available would hopefully at least mean more relevant
questions.<br><br>Ideally we could run our own three/six monthly survey
to collect baseline data but setting it up and getting a representative
sample is hard work.<br><br>Cheerio John <br><br><span>Tobias Knerr

Additionally, it was posted to several other lists on the lists.osm.org
server – including ones where it is quite off-topic, like the mostly
dead "party" list¹.
Overall, this is the 5th time I'm receiving a copy of this questionnaire
link. I can't help but feel we need to encourage a better approach for
polling the OSM community. Preferably one that also involves some
feedback from people with OSM experience before the survey is sent out.
