Hi Team,

I have been giving thought to poll questions which could generate useful
data for us as a team.  I have listed what I have
throught out so far.  I would appreciate the groups input, both on format
and as well on the questions themselves.  In addition,
if you think there should be more questions, I would certainly appreciate
hearing from you.

The information we get from the poll should help us identify much more
readily areas in the community where we can
focus out attentions as well as giving us information about operational use
of the Server Edition.
