[Womoz] Our research on women in FLOSS

[Delphine]

hi all,

Here is the internal survey that we have created these past weeks with 
members from the WoMoz Survey Team.

Could you please give us your feedback about the survey by next Friday? 
(so that's *Friday June 11th*)

In any case, the survey will be distributed amongst the Mozilla women 
community members by next week, *starting on Monday 14th of June*. _

If we receive no answers/feedback before Friday, we will make no further 
changes to the survey, and the survey will be published as it is._ No 
comments can be taken into account after Friday.

Here is the Etherpad link, you may add notes and suggestions at the 
bottom of the document where it is asked (or by email as well):
http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/womozsurvey

I'm also adding a copy below this email so you can view the poll directly.
We will be using Limesurvey to publish it (http://www.limesurvey.org/)

If you need any background concerning the internal survey (our roadmap, 
goals, ...), you may find this here:

Thanks in advance

COMMUNITY SUGGESTIONS/CORRECTIONS:

    * /Katarzyna: /

* I would move the "about you" section to the end. It's not the most
important part and can put off some people. I would suggest the
following order: 3, 2, 1, 4.

* Also, I'm not sure we need all those questions e.g. the job level or
name and surname bit. How are we going to use that data? Do we
**really** need it?
