Don't be shy, we can always revert.  :)

Sounds reasonable, complements the "What is the greatest barrier
to increasing your participation" question pretty well.

You can add some as you come up with them.  I was thinking along
the lines of the various services WPLUG offers, such as:
  -GUMs
  -Special events
  -Installfests
  -Mailing lists
  -Newsletter
  -IRC channel
though there are other reasonable ways to do the breakdown also.

If you don't add your comments to the wiki, I'll add them whenever
I can get to it.

Overall, I'm more favorably disposed to a relatively open-ended
type of survey that gives plenty of opportunity for free-form
comment rather than a strict "fill-in-the-bubble" approach.  This
shouldn't be too burdensome since we're not going to be getting
thousands of responses.

Patrick is setting up something with PHPsurveyor but I haven't
gotten around to playing with it yet.
