[Osmf-talk] OSM science

[Clifford Snow]

Joost,
I like your suggestion. I've use Lime Survey in the past. It is a solid
package. It's easy to create and modify questions in different formats. The
web interface is easy for users to understand.

Setting it up on a linux machine isn't too hard. I've done it once on an
AWS ubuntu instance, although I'd also be happy to defer to someone with
more experience.

Let me know how I can help.
