Re: software for running and analysing questionnaires easily?

thanks! thats a good start :-)

Ah, that reminded me to get the appendices of Rick Boardman's thesis:
http://www.iis.ee.ic.ac.uk/~rick/thesis/
he has good material online (including questionnaires and legal/privacy 
statements)
and I will build on it

My study will be about the PIM aspects of semantic desktop, the key 
features are a system-wide (to be precise: PSI-wide) tagging system, 
offering related links for navigation (supporting orienteering 
behavior), and personal wiki.

do you know of publicly available questionnaires/results from similar 
studies?

best
