I am not sure if we should require SSL for all surveys as general policy, I think we
should encourage it for sure. I guess that surveys that do not support SSL communication
will have a harder time attracting respondents and that's the best incentive for a
researcher to use SSL instead of using making it mandatory.

requests?

Hey folks,
The researcher running one of the new projects

wants to have editors take a survey, but not use SSL or any other data
encryption technology. What do you think?
