Hi Tim (and all),
Per the IRC meeting, I've come up with a possible questionnaire that we can
spam. Currently it's all text, but it can be converted easily enough. What
platform should we stick it on for the question/answers? I can do a free
surveymonkey unless someone has something better to suggest.
Suggestions as to questions/answers welcome from all. It is a first draft.
Cheers,
Jonathan
