If survey is published, for example on Reddit, such survey is narrow and specific to Reddit users, and would represent only that communication channel. My proposal on how to publish a survey is to include that in the Help menu, and let people do it straight from Emacs. That is similar to bug reporting, but it is not a bug, it is feature request. Something like: Tell us how we can improve? in the Help menu, would lead to description as how RMS said, and from there on, users would submit the email with their descriptions, likes, hates, whatever they wish to say. It could go straight to specific mailing list. Jean
