Hi, Paul.<br>
<br>
Yes, a Google Form would be perfect.<br>
<br>
For now, lest we get too ambitious with the scope and delay the
survey, I think we should limit the survey to simple
radio-button-checkable options for now, and leave the free-form-type
responses for another exercise. :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

<div>I have a questionnaire (google form) that could be used for

<div>Right now, the form asks high level things like;<br>

Hi Alan,<br>
<div><br>
</div>
It would be a great idea to have a form online somewhere that
people could submit their use cases and deployment details. We
used to have something like that, way back when.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
What other things, besides what you've listed, would be useful
to know? What should we offer in return to those who fill out
the form?<br>
