Something along the lines of, "In what region of the world are you (NA, LATAM, APAC, EMEA)", or "What is your primary language." In fact * The questions on "which beats are most useful" and "which sections are least useful" made me do a double-take - Are beats and sections different? No, they're the same thing, at least from looking at the list, but the terminology used to describe it should be the same in both questions. If I were writing the survey, I would do something more along the lines of, "For the following Beats (individual sections of the newsletter), please rate the usefulness on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being 'not useful at all' and 5 being very useful, or 0 for 'do not use'." This helps cut down on the # of questions, and probably slightly more relevant / less confusing feedback for you guys. I'm honestly not sure that "usefulness" is the best word here. Are you looking to find out if having that information is *helpful* to people, or just trying to find out if the information provided is informative enough, detailed enough, or .... ? Other than that - it looks awesome. Are you targeting this for just being in English? IIRC, limesurvey does support multiple language choices, assuming someone is able to do the translating. I LOVE LIMESURVEY! I haven't said that enough lately. ;) -Robyn -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
