as you said (in reply to Patrick N�f) :

It is interesting for me to know who uses this piece of software, because occupation and educational background do give me a way to gauge the user and their abilities. I am sure you know that after such a login time with a marketing company.

- ->Would you like Fink to 'speak' your native tongue ?
- ->Would you consider being a translator?
- ->Would you help writing documentation for Fink?
	ditto

I would like to add, that I am recording the email only because I wish to be able to contact those people who answer the question "How would you like to help fink". I am not going to make that a mandatory answer, because I will explicitly state in the header why the email is being recorded.
	then why don't you put it alongside this question ?

How would you like to help Fink?
- ->Are you willing to participate in more surveys to improve Fink?
- ->Would you like Fink to 'speak' your native tongue ?
- ->Would you consider being a translator?
- ->Would you help writing documentation for Fink?
Email : [                        �]  If you want Fink to contact you.

The header will have the following key points explained.

a) Why the data is being collected
and that is ?, and something more specific than "to know who uses fink, why they use it and what they think of it".
How will actually Fink benefit from it.

b) That it is not being passed on in its raw form
c) That it might be show to third parties in a filtered way
	what's a filtered way ?

d) It will ask for consent
	how will you do if the user choose not to give his email ?

e) It will explain why the age and email are being recorded along with the occupation
	may I know for the age ?

Please do help me once more.
	I love to help by criticizing ;-)
