If I were writing the survey, I would do something more along the lines of, For the following Beats (individual sections of the newsletter), please rate the usefulness on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being 'not useful at all' and 5 being very useful, or 0 for 'do not use'. This helps cut down on the # of questions, and probably slightly more relevant / less confusing feedback for you guys. Yes, thanks for catching that, Robyn! They indeed refer to the same thing. I'm honestly not sure that usefulness is the best word here. Are you looking to find out if having that information is *helpful* to people, or just trying to find out if the information provided is informative enough, detailed enough, or ? Perhaps informative is a better word here. I want to gauge the utility of each of the beats for the readership. Other than that - it looks awesome. Are you targeting this for just being in English? IIRC, limesurvey does support multiple language choices, assuming someone is able to do the translating. I don't think we have time or assembled personpower to translate this into various languages in the time I'd like to get this out, unfortunately, and the primary audience is English readers, since FWN is 95% in English, excepting the occasional In the News contribution. I'd say keep it in English, but that is just me and I am happy to push out the date on this if a few translations would be of benefit. I LOVE LIMESURVEY! I haven't said that enough lately. ;) -Robyn Thanks for the feedback! - pascal -- marketing mailing list marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
FWN Reader Survey: final copy
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions for the FWN reader survey! I've made some changes, which can be previewed at: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/6/67/FWN-survey-20101207.pdf Mel, I'll take you up on the offer to purchase responses for this with the Community credit card, so that I can open this on Thursday for responses. Contact me off list and I will send you the username/password for the Limeservice account I have set up. They take PayPal and Visa. Alternatively, I can pay with PayPal and submit for reimbursement to that same PayPal account, if that is easier. Thanks! - pascal -- marketing mailing list marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

FWN reader survey
News, Marketing and Logistics Teams -- In order to gather some more feedback so that FWN on Fedora Insight can be as user-driven as possible, I've mocked up a Limesurvey to gather feedback for Fedora Weekly News and uploaded this to the wiki at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:FWN-draft-survey-20101203.pdf I would welcome your feedback between now and next Wednesday, when I would like to include the survey with the next issue of FWN. The survey is currently ten questions. The purpose of the survey is to gather: 1) background on the readership of FWN 2) which beats are most and least useful, and if readers miss any currently dormant beats 3) what new features readers would like to see with FWN I am thinking we'll be safe to purchase 500 responses for US$35. I think we would be wildly successful if we got that many responses. We could also go with 250 responses, for $13 less, but the incremental cost seems minimal between 250 and 500 responses. Any feedback is very welcome -- thanks! - pascal -- marketing mailing list marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
