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...
