Daniela,

First, I consider it impolite to jump into a mailing list (apparently not the only one), and request 
others to work for you, without any explanation:


- what university/college you are studying at,
- what the topic of the research is in general,
- what you are trying to find out specifically,
- where we can see any results.

Others have already criticized that posting a link to an arbitrary document is 
counterproductive,
I would not click such a link as it could be a scam.

Finally, at least in Europe where I know it, preforming an online survey would be considered to be 
research involving humans as participants, and require an Research Ethics approval from your 
university, which you should have applied for. You would need to consider how personal data are 
processed in this context.


Here are some explanations from universities, your favourite search enigne will 
deliver more examples.

I get the feeling that we could collect some baseline data for these 
types of surveys.


I'm thinking of tools used to add data.  Streetcomplete, JOSM, iD, 
potlatch, the reason is the "Skill" level needed to use the tool.  ie 
since x% of edits are made by streetcomplete you may not need a PhD in 
cartography to add to the project.


I don't know if we record the Internet address of contributors and I 
wouldn't like to see the full address being made available but a country 
code might be useful.


Also the average life of a contributor.  I think we see some who 
contribute once to six times then disappear and that means they aren't 
available to survey.


Making this information available would hopefully at least mean more 
relevant questions.


Ideally we could run our own three/six monthly survey to collect 
baseline data but setting it up and getting a representative sample is 
hard work.

The same message was also sent to personal mail addresses of OSM

Additionally, it was posted to several other lists on the lists.osm.org

dead "party" list¹.

Overall, this is the 5th time I'm receiving a copy of this questionnaire
link. I can't help but feel we need to encourage a better approach for
polling the OSM community. Preferably one that also involves some
feedback from people with OSM experience before the survey is sent out.

You posted the same message in the HOT mailing list.

There are issues with your questionnaire that were identified there and 
have not been addressed.


I suggest you address the issues if you want to get anything useful out 
of it.

please, not a google form :(
for you thesis, ask your university a professionnal survey software

Maybe that geography department will offer something when OSMF moves 
away from Google services for email :)
