[OSM-talk] Questionnaire

[John Whelan]

I get the feeling that we could collect some baseline data for these 
types of surveys.

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.

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.

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.

Making this information available would hopefully at least mean more 
relevant questions.

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.
