Yes, it is not one or the other. That's my point exactly. So what is the harm in doing our best to get a feel for what people prefer, how they balance these concerns, and how the different choices affect them?
I welcome all the pushback and have already learned a very great deal--this is one of the things I love about OSM--it is a space for nearly unlimited learning, which I relish and seek. I am dismayed by what I consider to be the negative tone, as well as comments that are based on speculation or assumptions about our intentions, skills, or the overall approach. At a minimum, kindly worded questions could be asked instead of opinions levied that are based on assumptions. We did know that some would not like a Google form. We had to make a tough choice. Why is it assumed that we just ignored the question of open or closed source entirely. What level of fool would do that for a survey in OSM? We are not that level of fools. Of course we didn't ignore them. But we do not have unlimited powers and resources and we had to make the choice that could move our work forward. In my experience it is a common critique of this forum that it is negative and even mean-spirited. Perhaps some of the commenters here could take that feedback with the same enthusiasm that they are giving feedback to me. Then, we can all be learners.
