I think we might be confusing targets. Short polls are a great tool to get instant opinions on a specific feature or question. A survey is however not a poll. A survey is a way to get a picture on where you are at and where you could/should go. Both tools have their uses, but are quite different... Now, it is clear that there is no guarantees on how many people will go through the full survey, and that unless we get at least a hundred responses, it will not have much validity, but we won't know until we try, won't we? On the other hand, I do think that we need to restrain ourselves on the time it takes to answer the questions and one thing I am hoping to get from the tester is how long it took them to complete it and whether they think it is too long or not. When looking at the current 37 questions, remember that a lot of them are conditional, so the perceived time might not be directly proportional to the number of questions. Also note that LimeSurvey has a very convenient way to save a halfway completed Survey so that one is not forced to complete it all in one shot. Nick
