Reader feedback mechanism

I am glad there is interest in my survey. I think that if reader surveying is something we want to encourage, we need to make it part of the wiki environment - otherwise, editors won't do it.

This is not a complicated piece of software to develop, but it is also not a piece of cake. I would like to see a survey builder, which would include a set of standard questions (How old are you, how do you use Wikipedia, how frequently, and so on), a set of general topic questions (what is your relation to music/physics/Shakespearean drama), and a set of article-related questions. Editors could build a survey by picking prewritten optional questions, and by creating their own specific questions (Do you think an infobox would enhance this article?) Question types would be two: text short answer and multiple choice (one choice only, with an option for textual "other" response).

After building the survey, the editor would add a template to the article, with a parameter for the specific survey, and an end date, after which the survey automatically closes and the template switches to something like: "We did a survey of reader responses to this article. You are welcome to see the results here."

Survey results should be stored in an OpenDocs spreadsheet in some area in the Wiki, with an option for the surveytaker to create correlations and to add a textual analysis.

Is that a lot to order?
