Tue Aug 7 11:29:58 BST 2012

Hi all,

see below Szymon's ok for the survey, with a request to do a last spell
check.
I have the questionnaire from Tom and will look over the text, and provide
Tom with possible changes.

best,
Ton

Dear Szymon,

Thank you for your feedback, which we will gladly take in to account. We
plan to send out an e-mail to our mailing list (3000+ subscribers) as well
as promote the survey on Twitter to get responses. I will prepare the
launch of the survey for tomorrow morning, and provide a response deadline
of 2 weeks. This way the results will be available by the end of August.

best,

Ton Zijlstra
