[OSM-talk] Survey coming

[Allan Mustard]

John:  We are casting the net as widely as possible, so please amplify
this message through your preferred communications channels.  We will
circulate the URL for the survey via talk lists, which will allow anyone
with a valid email address to request a single-use token that will allow
the respondent to participate in the survey once.  In theory individuals
with multiple email addresses could respond multiple times, but we will
abide by the OSM Etiquette Guidelines and "assume good faith".  The
target audience is the broad OSM community--anybody who creates,
supports, or uses OSM data. 

As a statistical economist, believe it or not I have actually run
surveys in the past, so am not a complete novice, but if you have the
names of people you'd like the Board to talk to about surveys, please PM me.

Imre:  Lime Survey allows only one entry for English.  BTW, if you live
in Budapest, stop by Gerbeaud's and have a piece of Dobos tort for me...

cheers,
apm
