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.

Hi,

I think, gentoo-user is a good place for your poll: it is user related, 
gentoo-user has many subscriptors, and the traffic is so high, that an 
additional e-mail does not hurt anybody.
27149 emails since the middle of april and 7 of it are the polls.

Glück Auf
Volker

[gentoo-user] Gentoo poll #7 results.

These are the results for the seventh gentoo poll.

There was a dissapointing 36 respondants with 50 responses.

The question was:

What was the biggest problem you had installing gentoo?
Votes Percent  Problem
  816%  None
  816%  Hardware drivers
  612%  Impatience/Not reading docs
  510%  Kernel Config
  4  8%  Other Config
  4  8%  Use flags
  3  6%  No network/No CD
  3  6%  Took too long
  918%  Other

I will admit the question was too broad and too general. The most 
common response was other.  The next question will be a little 
easier.
