At the time of this comment the survey stands at:

video/youtube 4 (15%)

audio/podcast 3 (12%)

written out format 17 (65%)

other in the comments on this post 0 (0%)

just show me the results 2 (8%)

Total 26 (100%)


Judging by the results of the survey and the lack of numerousness of suggestions via other comments (of which the ones that were here were pretty good). This is not enough interest to make it worthwhile to carry out.

Thanks for the comments or interest to those who participated.

Posting this has prompted me to wonder what I would have decided would be worthwhile in numbers of poll replies or comments.

  • 10-15 minimum interested for video/audio

OR

  • 30-50 for interest in written out transcripts of interviews.

OR

  • comments totalling ~20 people participating.

OR

  • more guidelines or suggestions of questions to lead to enough material for 1-2 interviews to start with.

OR

  • clear suggestion of who to interview, and why/what to ask.

I really don't feel like I have reached any of them; but if someone would like to gather any of the win-conditions and hand them to me - I would re-open my interest in the project.

I don't think there's enough traffic on here to get the kind of response you're looking for, unless it's a promoted main post that stays up for quite a long time.

This is a good point... But it also reflects a perspective of who might want to interact with the product. So from a supply-demand perspective; there not being demand is a very good reason to not supply the product (being the interview).

It's possible the demand could extend beyond this site :)

I agree; But I would still need some kind of external indication to motivate me to do something...
