#1: Periodic user/contributor survey ------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: somebody Status: new | Priority: major Component: component1 | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by sparks): Replying to [comment:11 mattdm]: What kind of people? Are these potentially not Fedora users? How will we know? The biggest problem with surveys, and by extension statistics, is being able to say after what the information *actually* means. When we were originally discussing this we knew that the we couldn't say that we surveyed all Fedora contributors because we were actually surveying everyone with a FAS account. There's a big difference there. No matter how we do it we'll always have a certain amount of uncertainty in the results. You'll always get people who aren't, or are no longer, a user/contributor but are just bored or vindictive. The hope is that you'll overshadow those people with people that you actually want to hear from. The plan was to use an instance of LimeSurvey I had running at one point and sending out individualized invitations to all FAS account holders. Each person would receive a unique URL that would prevent the person from completing the survey multiple times. We could also track the percentage of FAS account holders that completed the survey so we'd know if we had statistically viable numbers. I still have, somewhere, the questions we were to ask in the language that the survey specialist said would be best (non-leading, complete, etc). -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/1#comment:12> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Project Board Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss
