    Are there some retention related questions that come to mind? Or frequency of interaction? Like trying to identify this situation, "I showed up once and didn't like it and I guess I'm still answering this questionnaire but otherwise I don't do anything here anymore." vs. "I regularly fix bugs".

    Maybe some contribution questions would be good...

    ```

    I know how git works.

    I have issued pull requests before.

    I have reviewed pull requests before.

    ```

    Maybe more about open source / job role..

    ```

    I have contributed to an open source project before.

    My company makes open source contributions (never, frequently, always).

    ```

    Do we want more demographics? We will baseline a few diversity areas with these questions but not many.

    What are your challenges in implementing Hyperledger?

    This will change over time and although text-based, may be useful with the groups on developing materials. They may relate to gender or technology or learning.
