Hi John, Makes a lot of sense to me. We could possible make a kind of code of conduct for survey researching the OSM community. That could very well be part of a project Frank, Peter and I are launching: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/42134
I think it would be really helpful if we set up a survey engine under the wings of the OSMF. That would make it easier to re-use surveys and share experiences and data between researchers. Also we could include a review proces before launching the questionaire, so e.g. questions can be internationalized (even if this is not a priority for the researcher themselves). 2017-09-04 22:20 GMT+02:00 john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com>: > At Statistics Canada they have a concept of respondent burden.
