Re: [Talk-us] Open survey on participation biases in OSM

Zoe, I'm not surprised that most OSM contributors are blokes. But what would make you think that indicates any kind of bias? People choose what they want to give their time to. I really don't mind what demographics contribute - it doesn't matter, so long as it's open to all - which osm

Re: [Talk-us] The Republic of Molossia (and other micro-nations)

Follks, It would be nice if we could get some confirmation that this is a real research projects being done by an actual researcher at Nottingham. If it is legit, why is the return email address from Gmail rather than the university? Is there some mechanism that we can set

Re: [Talk-us] Fwd: Open survey on participation biases in OSM

If it helps, I can confirm that I have met the researcher concerned at an OSM meetup in Nottingham. We talked about the project a bit, and what's been said about the research here doesn't differ from what was

Re: [Talk-us] [HOT] Surveys and studies

John, Actually, I would have to disagree with you on that point. Having worked in survey research, I know that each survey is carefully constructed as to length and order of questions. A kind kind of grouped survey, as you described, would give an experience to respondents that would be
