What kind of people? Are these potentially not Fedora users? How will we
know?
The biggest problem with surveys, and by extension statistics, is being
able to say after what the information *actually* means. When we were
originally discussing this we knew that the we couldn't say that we
surveyed all Fedora contributors because we were actually surveying
everyone with a FAS account. There's a big difference there.
No matter how we do it we'll always have a certain amount of uncertainty
in the results. You'll always get people who aren't, or are no longer, a
user/contributor but are just bored or vindictive. The hope is that
you'll overshadow those people with people that you actually want to hear
from.
The plan was to use an instance of LimeSurvey I had running at one point
and sending out individualized invitations to all FAS account holders.
Each person would receive a unique URL that would prevent the person from
completing the survey multiple times. We could also track the percentage
of FAS account holders that completed the survey so we'd know if we had
statistically viable numbers.
I still have, somewhere, the questions we were to ask in the language that
the survey specialist said would be best (non-leading, complete, etc).
