If GeekHack were to conduct a census of it's members, what questions should be asked?
1. Age
2. Profession
3. What do you do with your keyboard? Gaming / Typing
4. What keyboard technologies do you use (Cherry / Buckling Spring / Topre / ALPS / Other
5. Where do you live?
6. Have you ever participated in a groupbuy?
7. Have you ever organized a groupbuy?
What other questions would be relevant?
I just wonder what the breakdowns are like.
-
Annual expenditure on keyboards.
-
Annual expenditure on keyboards.
^ and key caps and accessories
are we going to make a semi-anonymous google docs form to do this, im actually interested lololol
-
Please be sure to make this anonymous. Not everyone is proud of all of these answers!
The thing about what we spend, especially.
For instance, for me, I spent a lot more the first year than I have since, but it may be the opposite for others.
-
Annual expenditure on keyboards.
I wonder how honestly people would answer that question.

Oh yeah, absolutely anonymous. Maybe I'll ask people to PM me their answers, and I will keep it private. Otherwise it could be spammed.
-
This would be interesting, I'm up for it.
-
anonymous
+1

Info on the geekhack demography would be really cool.
-
I'd do a google doc instead of PM
-
How are we supposed to calculate how much we've spent...?
-
i know i'm getting really technical here but i wouldn't do this by PM
i would rather if we are going to ask some super interesting queries that we make this fully anonymous somehow where you maybe hash the username so that the "census taker" wouldn't be able to see who entered the data.
if you want a true census and get answers from 30+ people to get some awesome insight then this needs to be fully anonymous.
-
How are we supposed to calculate how much we've spent...?
Just round up to the nearest thousand
-
At the rate I'm going my annual expendature will be almost $10k :eek:
-
I'm against ur census, cuz it's just a way for the govenmint to take away my keyboards.

I can Answer this on behalf of everyone, since the answers are obvious
1. Age
____ Too old to be doing this sh_t
2. Profession
____ Geek// basement dweller
3. What do you do with your keyboard? Gaming / Typing
____ Nothing// We collect them for no purpose
4. What keyboard technologies do you use (Cherry / Buckling Spring / Topre / ALPS / Other
____ CHerry fanboi wh0000t,
____ Topre fanboi wh0000t, I waste alot more money and toil with my emotions to justify the stupendous waste of funding for mediocre keyboard at best.... but wh0000t....
5. Where do you live?
____ Some basement
6. Have you ever participated in a groupbuy?
____ Yes, and still commenting once per day on the non-responsive GBs, of which would not speed up the buy
7. Have you ever organized a groupbuy?
____ Probably not, Too lazy
-
Maybe a better question would be: how many new keyboards do you expect to purchase in the next year?
The way I see it we can do this two ways:
1. Google Form/Survey -- the only problem I see with this is that there's no security. Anyone could put bogus information into the survey at will. There seems to be some way of inviting people into the form, so maybe I can ask people who want to participate to send me their email via PM, and then I'll invite them? Seems like a lot of work.
2. People can PM me their responses to a set of questions.
I'm open to more suggestions as to questions and how to deliver the survey. I've never used Google Docs before, so, any tips would be appreciated.

It is sad to think that people would insert bogus information to wreck the survey, but I guess that there is vandalism everywhere.
And the internet has made it a whole lot easier.
I still can't understand what the r00tw0rm thing last summer was about, except someone being infantile.
-
mostly european and asian descent
mostly male
mostly dorks

does "mostly male" mean "gay"?
no but that response means you're mostly a jackass
-
does "mostly male" mean "gay"?
no but that response means you're mostly a jackass
You could probably extrapolate that to the point where "all-male" or "all-man" actually means "gay"!

If I ever have a kid, I'm going to sit them in front of a computer everyday with Google open and let them hit keys. How old are you now?

Make sure the most of the options in the google doc are select-able, not input-able.
If everyone answers like smallfry, we'll never be able to aggregate the results without manual work.
