John,
If someone named Allessanbdro were in charge, a study,
such as Zoe's, never would happen, Clearly, from the reactions
on the email lists, a gender topic is very threatening to a number
of members.
I still feel we are much better off with independent research.
An internal research organization won't ask hard questions. That's
why most large organizations--businesses, government, etc.--if they
want to know what's really going on, bring in outside, independent
researchers.

as is the fashionable way these days, our own base survey?
To do it properly it would need some planning. Alessandro
might have some ideas or contacts. Note to Alessandro this
is very preliminary at the moment.
As background to the OpenStreetMap mailing group I first
posted this on HOT and the message is below. We had two
researchers doing very similar questions and neither were
getting the number of responses they would like.
Statistics Canada likes to recycle or reuse survey data were
possible, its cheaper than running yet another survey for a start.
The implications need thinking through.
So thoughts?

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:Â

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).

At Statistics Canada they have a concept of
respondent burden. Basically it means you try
to limit the number of questions you ask people
whilst still trying to get the answers in. Is
this information available from another survey?
May I suggest a more formal arrangement where a
survey is organised say every three / six months
and researchers submit their questions to be
included in the survey? This is done for a
number of surveys at Statistics Canada and is a
useful way to include one or two additional /
supplementary questions to a survey.
The advantage to the people running the studies
is hopefully a wider set of respondents making
their surveys more statistically valid. The
advantage to the mappers are fewer messages in
the mailing lists and fewer surveys asking to be completed.
At the very least I'm sure Zoe and Laura could
see if the data from their surveys could feed the other.
There are other things that could be done such
as random sampling then following up with the
randomly selected sample this reduces self selection.
Thoughts?
Thanks John
