What are the possible solutions to this issue?<br>
<br>
Does OSM or OSMF has an open platform to host future surveys
software to be used by the community?<br>
<br>
It's been more than a year since it was recommended by The FOSS
Policy Special Committee [0] of the OSMF to extend the use of their
Limesurvey instance "to all groups in OSMF for complex surveys and
to rely on the Forms App included in <em>Nextcloud</em> for more
simple polls, to protect the data of survey participants."<br>
<br>
Would it be feasible for OSM to have a similar -maybe self-hosted-
instance of LimeSurvey that can be used by all the community, per
request?<br>
<br>
I envision this achievable with a simple form in any or the existent
platforms (wiki, discourse, mailing list, email) directed to the <i>LimeSurvey</i>
instance admin, whether this is a person or team, and
decision-making on who can create/edit surveys for OSM-purposes
could have some basic criteria, keen to discuss further.<br>
