I would add the questions as: + the kind of contributions: patches, translation, bug report, discussions on guix-devel or help-guix, else + the number of contributions using some ranges 1, [2-9], [10-100], 100+ + channels of communication: IRC, guix-devel, help-guix, else (Reddit, etc.) + contribution to other free software (patches, translation, bug report) + editor of choice (as the survey from Haskell [1]) + and maybe some other questions from [1] :-) WDYT? 1: https://taylor.fausak.me/2022/11/18/haskell-survey-results/#s3q1 Cheers, simon
