I would love feedback on it. Thanks for putting work into this, that's awesome! In terms of general feedback: There was a general discussion on surveys[0] a year ago, I'd like to highlight this mail[1] by Katherine in particular, as it contains excellent points on survey/questionnaire design and good practices. Regarding your proposed questionnaire: I think that it would benefit from asking about the level of Guile proficiency/if there's prior-experience with lisp family languages/if people learned Guile because of Guix. > * The tricky part of running a survey is keeping it to a reasonable length, you > quickly find there's lots you'd love to know, but the balancing factor is the > more questions someone has to answer the lower the completion rate! Ideas on > how to shorten the design while keeping the same areas of enquiry would be > welcome. It could be feasible to categorize questions into two boxes: - Questions we want to track over time as we want to track how responses change over the years, that have to be iterated yearly. - Questions we want to ask once/every few years, as we want to work with a snapshot in time instead of longterm tracking answers in short iterations. and then have a annual/biennial survey, always asking all questions from the first box, and then split-up questions from the second box throughout the years. > * If anyone has skills/experience in analysing results and would like to get > involved I would love help. Don't know yet what my timebudget will look like when the results are in, but generally I'd be available for this (if time permits)!
