Yes, that would be nice. My concern about user info is that we are going to ask as many people as possible to answer the survey. I agree a bit about a desire to de-dupe the company names... But I would *not* assume that the individuals that may offer this are authorized to be public about their use of the software. If we end up collecting them (for the record, I'm +0 on collecting *just* organization name), I'd state in absolute terms that the names are not shared on any public list (including this one). Whomever ends up collecting the data (Giles is the volunteer right now) would have to do the de-dupe privately, and then only share the scrubbed and de-duped results with this list. As for vertical, I think we would be OK with that being asked (and it's a good idea). Giles - one other question for you... if you end up doing this, are you going to spend the $ on a non-free plan? It looks like it would only cost $24 for one month of the "Select" plan, which gives unlimited questions and answers for a month. I think that allows for enough answers to make it meaningful. Alternatively, I'm personally willing to spend the $ myself to do this. I'd hope for more than 100 answers. -chip
