Not surveys. I don't really think this list is a reasonable sample. Mailing list tends to attract a specific type of audience. You have to be knowledgeable enough to subscribe and follow the list and be interested enough to participate regularly. You can compare and contrast this to say even a forum to know the difference. A reasonable sample would include things like the one Sun did in the GNOME 2.x ages long back or the more recent Novell one where you get audience from different backgrounds, sex and age groups to do some basic tasks and figure out what works, doesn't and needs improvement. Surveys are not a replacement and dont convey anywhere close to that amount of useful information.
