Yes, I'm thinking I want as wide a distribution as possible to real-world users,
and am planning on using our SurveyMonkey account.  I'm definitely hoping that
our fellow solution providers would be willing/able to forward the link on to
their customers as appropriate, because my experience is that people are most
likely to do something when someone they already know asks them to do it. :-)

Most definitely.

Oh yes...  I'm planning to post a draft next week in our wiki space so that
anyone who's interested can add comments, suggest questions/etc.  I'm going to
try to to have a fairly short review cycle, so any of you who are interested
might want to start doing some thinking now so that you are ready to chime in
with feedback on the draft.

I'm shooting for "fast and reasonably good" rather than "drawn out and perfect."
    

best,
