I don't personally have a server capable of handling much load (the smallest 
VPS Rackspace offers), so I was looking for a free hosted solution.

I'm asking for folks to send me translations of the strings (if you don't want 
to go through to find them, they're now on lp:~maco.m/+junk/survey ) so I can 
set up parallel surveys in other languages.

C. de Avillez and I are working on the analysis of it. The results will be 
made public.  At the moment, Kate Stewart and Jeremy Foshee also have access 
to the results since they expressed interest when I took it to the QA team's 
IRC channel.
