Dear All,
After the rather hostile response on the English language wikipedia to the Berkman survey I would like to revive my proposal from five months ago for an annual Omnibus survey. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Omnibus_Survey
I appreciate that this would put some constraints on the researchers and would actually cost the Foundation a bit of money. But unless someone else can come up with an alternative way of fairly throttling research surveys to the point where the community can accept them, I would suggest that this is the only viable option on the table other than a simple blanket ban on third party research surveys.
