I have created a survey draft at
http://survey.kde.org/index.php/858172/lang-en

Now please everybody click through it and give feedback on anything that you 
think should be changed.

Once it feels like we agree on the survey, I'll publish it on the Dot and on 
the kde-community and kde-devel mailing lists, hoping to reach most KDE 
contributors and interested users.

Thank you in advance for your feedback,
Thomas
