Given that it's ~44 hours since I started it, I suspect we're at the point
of diminishing returns.  Let me see how I can package the report for sharing
(I'm thinking genunix).

I can tell you what the response was so far:  69 respondents with 55
complete responses.

Considering we have several thousand registered members on
opensolaris.org; I think that makes any result a passing fancy at
best.

No doubt.  Never suggested otherwise - especially since I can't even
identify the audience that the request reached.  This was for my own
amusement and entertainment-value only.   I got what I wanted out of it, and
I thank anyone who took the time to throw a nickel in the slot.

I always treat the total registration count on opensolaris.org as
irrelevant, given the campaigns to get free t-shirts or dvds for
registering, with no intent needed to participate or ever come back
after the shipping form is filled out.

Sorry for being OT, but what free T shirts are you talking about? I
can't even buy the models I saw and liked in the past :-P

I'm going based off advocacy numbers. There's more than several
thousand register *accounts*; I guess I was too subtle with members
:)

Well, it's got higher participation than many of the important discussions
that have been going on recently. (Assuming it's not the same half a dozen
people submitting multiple responses!)

A little over 48 hours run, http://cr.opensolaris.org/~devnull/polldaddy.html

65 completed responses (out of 79).  I can show country breakdown if
anyone's really that curious.

No warranties, expressed or implied yada yada.

I'd like to see the results shared publicly, myself. Perhaps the results will 
shed some light on the situation (or fan the flames..).
