Re: Joint user survey with EnterpriseDB?

Yeah, don't have much time to test though.

EDB has an account with SurveyMethods, which should be able to scale to
as many people want to take it.

The new set of questions and options is below my Sig.  I think you'll
find that the "EDB Content" is gone.  There's a few question fixes still
pending, but this is largely what it'll be.

My thought was, just put it up in News, and I may put a link in my blog
since I've worked on it some.

Simon isn't OK with it even so ... others?
