Are you volunteering to build such a survey tool? ;-)
Is the Foundation unable/unwilling to allocate resources towards that? I mean, so far it looked like everyone is treating the typography refresh seriously :)
When it comes to using a survey to catch problems early and gauging preferences, a survey still very much suffers from the self-selection bias that all opt-in options have. It's just the name of the game. When you move something from opt-in to opt-out you reach a wider audience and encounter new complaints/questions/bugs.
How is self-selection bias relevant here? People who are not interested in taking surveys won't take the survey, of course, but I don't see how that diminishes the value of the results one might get. I quite like this idea. -- Matma Rex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
