This is a nice idea. Can you mock up a prototype on your proposal page? --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 19:57, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

:::My questions are not the question of subject of the proposel. I am looking for project approval. The questions can be hashed out inside the '[[BW:TANK|approced project]]'. Since the project is not approved, I can not give my questions which would be on the project page. Plus when I orginal created the page, I could not think of any questions. That is why they are TBD. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 20:28, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

These questions gives users no idea in what they are answering so they answer better when it's more genearl than specific, unless we are looking for something.

::: Back onto the topic of technical details, is it intended that a new user be familiar enough with Wikicode to edit a page with survey answers correctly and without deleting something they oughtn't? Will the answers be multiple choice? If not, who will be in charge or interpreting the long answers into something that can be statistically meaningful? How will we deal with multiple new users anwering the same set of questions between archiving events? How much instruction is it reasonable to expect a new user to wade through regarding how to edit, what to edit, where to answer, etc. before actualing doing the answering? Not ''all'' of these need to be answered before work begins on this, but many do and all need to be addressed in some manner, at least. I await the input of others. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]] - [http://hiver.swordofthestars.com/ SotS])</sup> 02:15, 19 July 2006 (CDT)

# [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin Jr.]] - {{neutral}} We need to definitely refine this more. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:11, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
# [[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] - {{oppose}} I oppose this plan in its current form, but I feel the idea is well worth revisiting in a refined form. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 17:00, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
# [[User:Day|Day]] - {{oppose}} I must oppose this project on the basis that I do not feel it is clearly enough defined. I like the general idea, but don't feel my above question about how it would work, in a technical sense, has been answered well enough. I have six days to change my vote, or rather, there remain six days to explain this to me to my satisfaction.

# [[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] - {{oppose}} Its a lot fo work for no real gain, like with the poll idea perhaps in the fiture when the wiki software has some kind of forms feature we can do this. But for now... no. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:02, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
# [[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] - {{oppose}} I agree with Day. The idea is inoffensive, but uncompelling, and the amount of work entailed would be considerable. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 14:54, 20 July 2006 (CDT)
# [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] - {{Neutral}} It's a good idea to know where people find us; we don't necessarily want to be some "exclusive" club. But the method and use of this information, if unable to be collected automatically and for good reason, must be better defined. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:04, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
# [[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] - {{Neutral}} I think this is the seed of a great idea. We just need more input/collaboration (from everybody, not just the "proposer") to get this one rolling. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:00, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
