I agree with you, Casey. An in-depth survey of a Project would not only give
us a sense of its demographics, but of its general health; and a sense of
what's needed to better meet its needs and how to improve it.

I would be very interested in being a part of a team constructing,
conducting and analyzing such a survey. How do you get something like this
going?
