Speak for yourself - I've been looking to put a sustainable vendor-neutral user-involving community organisation at the heart of the project for years. Yes, the LibLime communication cutback has probably motivated a few more people, but it's not a quick fix for the recent problems and I'm not sure anyone thinks it is.
Indeed, this has been discussed long before the current events began. I guess it has been a sort of call to action.
So:
1. do we need information brochure(s) about the options? - who will produce it/them? - who will referee it/them to make sure it's fair? - how should it be distributed?
How about MJ, Thomas, and the wiki ; )
2. are there other trained statisicians in our community?
I took a single stats class in college ( math minor ). About the most I can tell you is your chances of drawing a particular series of cards from a full deck.
3. how do we gather opinions on the survey design nicely?
Maybe have everyone post potential questions to a wiki page, limit the question posting period to a week or two.
Hope that helps,
I find you to always be insightful. A philosopher with a club, perhaps? Kyle
