Final Reminder on Post-Delphi Survey

This email was originally sent between the period on 18 Oct 2002 to those who responded to the previous survey.

Subject: Post-Delphi survey for the Delphi Survey on Infrastructure For Hosting Open Source Project (IFHOSP)


Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your participation in the Delphi survey. This is probably the last group email that I will send to you regarding this survey. As the survey is coming to the end, we would really appreciate it if you can express your opinions on how the survey was conducted, so that we can find out what to improve. This questionnaire is very short with just 6 questions:
  1. How has the Delphi process facilitated (or not facilitated) communication between participants?
  2. Do you find participation in this survey a worthwhile experience?
  3. What can be improved in the process of the survey?
  4. What can be improved in the web interface of the survey?
  5. What can be improved in the questions posed in the survey?
  6. Other Comments
