Questionnaires for Comparative Workshop

[REGINA PUSTET]

I have a questionnaire ready but at least in my case I think it would be better to circulate it after the conference when everybody is more relaxed and there's more time for such things. Discussing the issues raised in the questionnaires on the list, rather than separately, is a very good idea. As far as I can tell from my own work on this, the quality of the output of this project depends crucially on the intensity of intellectual exchange between us Siouanists. My topic is, basically, interesting but without further input from specialists, I'm afraid it won't even yield an acceptable paper. At one point, I was so frustrated that I even thought about changing the topic.

  Some people are thinking of distributing questionnaires to elicit data
that they are finding it hard to locate. As far as I can see, it is OK
to post these questionnaires on the list.

Also feel free to specify that answers should come to you direct, off
list, if that is what you prefer. I can't guarantee that people will
follow instructions and it should be clear by now that I have no
objections to voluminous data postings.

I'm also willing to supply email addresses to those who want to send more
directed questionnaires and need contact information. Again, I can't
guarantee that people won't post their responses, but it seems much more
likely that people will respect your wishes if you write direct and ask
them not to. If you write on the list, and ask them not to, they may have
fired off the response before they see your restrictions.
