Sorry for the delay as I've been swamped with a few things. I think let's try submitting the link to the post, and see what kind of uptake it has. I'll co-ordinate a few up-votes, and also send you guys the link so you can use your HN accounts to upvote. I'll get to that on Monday if that works for you guys?

Typical AskHN doesn't link to an external site, and the data is captured within the HN. Should I try that? The poll might get a bit more traction, but like you noted, the aggregation of the results would involve scanning through the text comments. I don't have a strong recommendation here, but probably the Poll might get a slightly better response.
With the CitusDB articles submitted to Hacker News, they typically link to a informative piece.
Do you feel submitting the initial announcement message - which already includes the survey link as it's first thing - would work out ok?
If not, probably use your best suggestion. You guys have more Hacker News experience + are getting good results. :)
