Final draft of survey no up. Main changes:

1. Better intro text thanks to Martin/Robert.
2. Sharing results Q greatly simplified
3. Version being used now multi-select
4. Lighter colours as requested by Alexander
5. Internally, things to work on are now weighted in results.

Yes. That's fixed now in the final draft. As discussed with Martin on
IRC, I think we still need to ask for an email address so we have some
way of getting back to people. That implies that summary results only
are published by default.

The question re 'can we publish' is now just yes/no to reflect the
filtering SurveyMonkey lets me do (easily).

Yes, it was quite ugly I agree. The question still looks the same
externally but internally, each is now a weighted rating. This will
hopefully fix this. Some new data will help confirm that. Hint Hint. :-)

The default weights are the numbers 1..5. Should we use different
weightings?
