discuss: Thread: Documentation survey by O'Reilly

Here's the survey I mentioned recently on this list:

http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB22634WBK2AH 

Please take the survey and repost it to any other places you
think would be appropriate. Some text describing it follows.

-----

Do you answer questions on mailing lists about how to use a
software tool or language? Do you write documentation, put
up web pages, or contribute to wikis about software? If so,
please take the following survey to help O'Reilly do
research that will be published on the O'Reilly web site,
and may help software projects and communities get more such
contributions.

We're only interested in hearing from people who do this for
non-monetary reasons.

Actually, I can't reproduce your problem:

I believe you, but it seems the problem is subtler. I turned off
JavaScript on my browser (Firefox 1.5.0.9 on Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5) but
I could still see and answer the survey.

Nevertheless, I reported your problem to the web team.
