My thoughts on the matter is that surveys should be conducted at specific intervals, such as 3 months or at 6 months (releases). Polls on the other hand, as stated should be for instant opinion. These we can do ad-hoc as needed, such as if we recognize a particular issue with a software package or a particular approach we would like to take. > > Now, it is clear that there is no guarantees on how many people will go > through the full survey, and that unless we get at least a hundred > responses, it will not have much validity, but we won't know until we > try, won't we? > Agreed again. Part and parcel of doing something like this is ensuring that we as the sponsors of the survey effectively communicate to the community to participate. By that, I mean posting on the forums, the mailing-list (although I think everyone who reads it should know by now), I would add that we should also get it onto planet, fridge and the newsletter.
