Okay, so I stumbled upon the Marketing Research page[1], and from that,
it seems like we are committed to using Limesurvey on a Fedora-hosted
box eventually, but there are some open tickets[2] with packaging,
licensing and such that are blockers. Should we perhaps use
Limeservice[3] as was used for FUDCon 2009 Toronto then? And where can
I apply for community funds to pay for additional responses we might
have to an FWN survey beyond the first 25 which are free? Thanks all!

There is a Ruby standalone tool called "the decider" on
https://labs.riseup.net/ for making quick and custom surveys. When you create
a survey (clicking on "decider", and then entering the issue), you receive a
unique url for that survey. Is based on trust, so is not enforcing
authentication, and i think it shouldn't be a problem inside Fedora community.
This is an example:
https://labs.riseup.net/decider/issue/view/iemaebienoohoocoophe
You'll see, there is a basic range of options for every possibility. The code
is hosted in
https://labs.riseup.net/code . Of course the reliability for real
decisions is not included in this standalone webapp. But in crabgrass (our
social network) is included with authentication included (with history too),
example:
https://we.riseup.net/crabgrassdemo/crabgrass-demo-group-meeting-time+9662
and there is another two tools useful, one more like a questionaire, another a
poll with something like a ranged vote. But i have no public accesible pages
to show you, sorry. You should register to access some examples in user
feedback group.
So, here are my two cents:
a) Using quick surveys (self-hosting the decider, or using the webapp in
riseup).
b) Testing the other tools on the
https://we.riseup.net/ social network, my
public profile is in
https://we.riseup.net/tzk and i'd love help with any
doubts for making the tests you want.
It's free as beer, and free as in freedom ;)
