Indeed, lots of work!

I doubt that I'll be able to add much in terms of new questions. 
Combination of a great job on your part and ignorance on my part.

But when I asked for an update, I didn't actually mean an update on the 
list of questions.

It was more a question of: have we finalized who we are sending the 
questionnaire to; if we send to an organization whether we expect it to 
forward to their members; schedule for sending; schedule for receiving 
the results.

But having looked at your draft questionnaire, it stimulates another 
question.

As the questionnaire points out, "feel free to skip any questions".

Here is my interpretation of that remark. We recognize that we have many 
different audiences and our questions are at different levels of detail. 
Some communities might have a lot to say about some questions and might 
not even understand other questions.

I wonder whether we can structure this differently. I suspect that there 
are a set of questions (e.g. 1-5, some accessibility questions (of 
33-41), maybe one open-ended question: what features would you like to 
see added to EPUB?) that should go to everyone. Perhaps we can construct 
four partially overlapping questionnaires which all start with these 
mandatory questions, and then has separate branches for creators, 
publishers, retailers, or readers)?
