But writing a survey and publishing it takes less than a week. It seems you're well ahead on the questions part already, and I also feel you have a personal agenda to fulfill with this survey.
I agree that we still need to talk about how to get the survey to most people and what's the best way to attract a "representative part" of the GNOME user base. Thinking out loud here, I wonder what could be done to get distributions providing GNOME 3 to advertise the survey on their websites. Maybe calling it a census would also sound more neutral. I would also try to involve the GNOME marketing team as they can help or have ideas about positively marketing this census. As a side note, GNOME has limesurvey installed on its servers I believe so I don't think we need to host it anywhere else.
