Host a small survey?

[To1ne]

From @dscho:

I wonder whether some well-crafted, short & unobtrusive survey could help, maybe something along these lines:

Would you mind sharing what you came here for?

• Git manual
• tutorial
• technical docs
• Find a tool
• other: _____

But maybe that over-indexes on people who have the time to fill out surveys...

Hey @To1ne, I do believe this would be a great step toward better understanding our users’ needs and use cases. I’m willing to work on this issue, though I’d appreciate a bit more guidance.

• How do you envision administering the survey should it be embedded directly on the site, or would you prefer a subtle notification/banner that links to an external form?

• Additionally, do we already have a specific goal for the survey (e.g. learning intent, improving navigation, feature prioritization), or should we start by proposing a few options for feedback flow and survey design?
