I have some misgivings about that. I like to ask open ended questions because then I make sure that I can see all the responses rather than only some preselected ones. I have gotten significant responses to open ended questions that I would have never thought to put on a preselected list. If the poll was in the newsletter I expect I would be swamped by not 50-100 responses but rather hundreds responses. It can take a lot of time to go through each one when dealing with open ended questions. GWN is published in other locations as well such as lwn.net and others. I want to ask questions to the gentoo user community, not the larger Linux community. If the Linux community gets involved the views of the gentoo community could get lost in the noise. I don't post the questions in gentoo-dev or gentoo-core either because they are not the audience I am trying to learn about. Final note: I am a gentoo developer, but this poll is not an officially sanctioned activity. Management knows I am doing this and has not objected, but I am doing this as a user not a developer. - -- Fred Van Andel [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG KeyID: 76526AD599455482 GPG fingerprint: 64E4 4BAB 9C99 D565 3E3C F5D0 7652 6AD5 9945 5482 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ZefydlJq1ZlFVIIRAiwZAKCjliSs8uTopBUInLEmYYb7bAiZxgCeLSny SRU/kNbnyFSx1UlgUHdNaj4= =syhD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
