Det vet man inte förrän efteråt, men om man styr upp frågan så här:
[ ] Ja
[ ] Nej
[ ] Vet ej
Motivera ditt svar: __________________
så går det nog att återanvända den gamla enkäten. Man kan ju titta på
hur dom har gjort på score-ep.org också (vilket är snarlikt hur man
jobbar med amendments med justifications...).
*Men det viktigaste just nu är nog att få ut ett tiotal frågor på remiss!*
Sen gör man väl bara som vanligt? Announce process -> |: deadline ->
loop :| -> publication?
Pejstar en enkät vi fick från http://renaissancenumerique.org/ innan
valet nedan (det är en fransk tänktank). Kanske finns nån intressant
frågeställning där som DFRI skulle kunna sno rätt av. Annars är det väl
bara att var och en frågar sig själv vad man skulle vilja ha svar på.
Vore trist om det bara blev PK-frågor som ingen egentligen vill veta
svaret på.
Själv skulle jag vilja fråga politikerna om dom skulle vilja vara med
och starta en användarförening i riksdagen som kör DebianParl!
Kommissionen har iallafall visat intresse :-)
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianParl/EC
Motsvarande specifik DFRI-fråga skulle kunna vara om riksdagsledamoten
skulle vilja installera PTS-knappen och anmäla webbsidor i offentlig
sektor som inte följer kaklagen.
