I have been following the threads concerning the surveys that have taken place at various times within the last year. I took part in the Aster survey and found it to be (of course) geared toward Aster, which is okay as it was their survey. However, I don't believe a survey has been conducted in a long while that is totally unbiased and not manufacturer sponsored. With that said, and in the hopes that the results of such a survey would be valuable to a few manufacturers, I have created a shell for an online survey that allows for anonymity and report ability. It is my intention that the results will be shared with as many manufacturers as possible, here on the listserv and reported in Steam in the Garden. Maybe someone will take notice. What I need from this illustrious group is a list of questions that you would like to see on the survey. If possible, please make the questions geared toward check box answers. This will ensure a cleaner database. But one line answers will work also. When the survey is ready, I will post the link.
