The survey answers questions that are important to the foundation, and will help us understand the editor community so we can provide them an engaging editing environment, ensure we can increase their needs to increase retention and increase the diversity among editors. As for Lime Survey, it is a great open source tool that is able to meet all our needs. Again based upon my experience, a 20 minute survey is standard for most surveys. A learning from our last survey was that our community is very engaged and I believe the length of the survey is the least of our problems. > The pool of people who will click the banner is already fairly small.

If you have more feedback, please post it on the wiki.
