Surveys

All,

Since nobody else seems to care about the surveys, I'm going to take it on 
myself to manage them.  I've just added a new one.  If anyone is concerned 
about what I might be surveying, the next 6-7 surveys I want to do are all in 
the admin system already.

Perhaps no one cares, because no one realized we had them :).

I just went digging through the website and found them under /community. 
How often are these actually used? It almost seems like wasted www real 
estate.

Please do. If you do that's great. If you can't for some reason keep it up we should change the system so it removes
thesurveys from the site if no survey exists that's newer than x days. But let's hope we don't have to.

Yeah, I used to maintain them but stopped caring when they got moved
there and stopped getting any real exposure. At the time I wanted to
keep them on the home page - I still do, though I'm not sure we have
spare real estate now.

Don't worry about it.  We're going to try promoting the survey through 
PWN.  We'll see how that works.

I recommend pinging David when you do to get a note put in the weekly news 
that a new survey is available.
