I would love feedback on it. The rationale for a survey is that it's a way to build up an understanding of our users and contributors which can inform our thoughts and decisions. As a project that's focused on user-freedom we don't use telemetry or have the resources to run professional user research. A survey provides a broad picture across our community, it standardises the questions that are asked and can show trends across our community. The proposal links to surveys by projects like Nix and Fedora which I've used for inspiration. Informed by those surveys, and my own interations with Guix users I've selected questions that delve into how people are adopting and using Guix. The second part explores how people contribute to Guix and their interactions with the project. Please see the design document for the various considerations and constraints. Some specific ways you can help are: * 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. * I'm sure there are alternative word options that might be clearer, along with the inevitable typos: either a PR (it's on Codeberg where anyone can create an account) or a patch would be welcome. * If anyone has skills/experience in analysing results and would like to get involved I would love help. Depending on the response/feedback I'll then move into implementing and running it.
