Hi Bob, The questionnaire will be ready in the next days. It will be "automatic web interface stuff", an a couple of open questions.
The general idea is that I will ask you about your knowledge/expertise on ArgoUML, and to tell me a certain number of hotspot classes of ArgoUML, taking the source code of the last official release as a baseline. We are conducting a pilot survey to find the most appropriate questions and format. I will try to make it as short as possible (15 minutes maximum as I wrote), to make it appealing :) I strongly hope that you can give your contribution. In the meanwhile, thank you.
